I call this meeting to order.
We are the Subcommittee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development. This is meeting number 13. It is May 12.
We have one order of business for the first part of our meeting. That is, we have two witnesses at 1 p.m. After an hour, they will be dismissed and we will then move to the in camera consideration of committee business.
Without further ado, we should turn the floor over to our witnesses, who are Hilary Homes and Kathy Vandergrift. Respectively, they are campaigner for international justice, security, and human rights with Amnesty International, and chairperson of the board of directors of the Canadian Coalition for the Rights of Children.
Before I begin, I'll just remind our members that we adopted a motion at the last meeting that rounds will be five minutes long—the first round will be five minutes long as well as the others. That may not be necessary today, depending on how many folks are here for this part of the meeting. Unless we change those rules, that's what they are.
Without further ado, please begin.
