The Chair Conservative Scott Reid

All right. That, of course, is an important matter, and Dr. Jalal has to prepare for that.

I thank you, Dr. Jalal, for being here, and I thank the members for making the extra time.

Before I dismiss you, I have one unrelated piece of business to take up with members of the subcommittee, and that is to remind you that the deadline for submitting proposed changes to the report on the Universal Periodic Review is 5 p.m. today. Please submit any suggestions you have to our clerk by that time.

Of course, we will be reconvening at 1 p.m. to hear from witnesses from Belarus. That will be across the hall in the Reading Room. Thanks very much.

We are dismissed.
