I call this meeting to order.
This is the 133rd meeting of the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration.
We are continuing our study on challenges we are faced with in respect to migration, as well as opportunities for the 21st century. Within that larger study, we are focusing several meetings on the two global compacts that are currently under international discussion: the global compact on refugees, and migration. That's the focus of this meeting.
We have two panels today.
In the first panel, we have one witness who is in person. Thank you very much for coming.
We also have two witnesses by video conference.
I think we'll start with the furthest away and then move to the closer witness on video conference. Then we'll close this first panel with the witness from ACT Alliance.
Each witness has seven minutes.
We're going to begin with Ms. Michele Klein Solomon from the IOM, who is coming to us from Geneva, Switzerland.
Thank you, and welcome.
