Order, please.
We are the Subcommittee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development. This is our 17th meeting of the second session of the 40th Parliament, and today we are honoured to have as our guest Professor Alan Dershowitz. Sometimes we say that an individual needs no introduction, and that's literally true in the case of Professor Dershowitz, and moreover, I would be doing him a disservice to attempt to start here, given his extraordinary curriculum vitae.
Without further ado, I'll turn the floor over to Professor Dershowitz, and I'll inform him that under our rules what happens is that we allow the witness time to speak and then we turn to the members of the committee and go through a round of questioning from each of the four parties, and hopefully, if there's time, which there may not be in this case, we'll do a second round from two of the parties, a total then of somewhere between four and six questions all told.
Without further ado, Professor Dershowitz, please, we'd enjoy hearing what you have to say.
