We are the 22nd meeting of the Subcommittee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development. Today we are hearing witnesses on the subject of the treatment of religious minorities in Pakistan and elsewhere.
We have a number of distinguished witnesses. Witnesses will be speaking in an order that is a little different from that which appears on the notice of meeting for today because Jocelyn Durston, the international policy analyst for the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, has to leave, and I want to give her the opportunity to speak prior to her deadline. After that, I'll ask the other witnesses to proceed in whatever order suits them best.
Ms. Durston, would you please start?
