I agree with Susanne Tamas. You're correct. You can recommend others, but I want to also recommend Professor Payam Akhavan, who is a professor of international law at McGill University, himself of Bahá'í descent. He has followed the issues and knows them very well.

Unrelated to any of this, the Khadr report that the main committee had, have you heard any word about when they intend to retable that, if they're retabling it in Parliament?

I know that Mr. Sorenson has it, and nothing else has been said.

In light of the witnesses who will be coming on Thursday, are we going to set aside time to continue the discussion of my motion to address the Dalit people of India?

That's a good question. Are we going to find time in an hour? I personally think we should have the witnesses first and deal with any other items, including our scheduling and your motion and everything else, after that. Whether we'll have time, I honestly don't know the answer to that question.
All right, I'm going to say that we are dismissed until this Thursday.
2 p.m.

The Chair Conservative Scott Reid
Just one hour, that's what we've got right now, but we're going to work at that meeting, if we have time after we've had our witnesses, to discuss future scheduling. I think I'm going to be chatting with people offline as well about that, because we may all have to make a few compromises.
The meeting is adjourned.
