Order, please.
Today, May 6, we are holding our 13th meeting of the Subcommittee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.
Just before we introduce our guest, I want to remind committee members of several things.
On Tuesday we will be looking at the human rights situation in Mexico, and on Thursday we will be looking at two separate things: human rights in Afghanistan, followed by la situation de Nathalie Morin. Because we're discussing two topics, we are beginning earlier. We will begin at 12:30 rather than at 1:00 on Thursday. You should be aware that we will probably not be in this room. We'll probably be over in the Wellington Building or the West Block, so you should give yourself the necessary extra time to get over there.
Mr. Silva.
