Welcome to the 37th meeting of the Subcommittee on International Human Rights of the Foreign Affairs and International Development, this Tuesday, December 7, 2010.
It's December 7, a date from some 69 years ago that lives in infamy.
Today we have some very welcome guests with us who are here to talk about the unfortunate subject of the sexual abuse of women and children in situations of conflict. I believe Mr. Tougas will be focusing primarily on the DRC.
From the Pearson Peacekeeping Centre, we have Peter Miller, vice-president for programs, and Sophie Toupin, project officer, and from Entraide Missionnaire, Denis Tougas.
What we normally do is allow our witnesses a 10-minute opening statement and then go to questions.
Am I right in assuming the two folks from Pearson will have one presentation but will answer questions together?
