Order, please.
This is the Subcommittee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development. Today, December 9, 2010, is our 38th meeting.
We are continuing our study into the treatment of sexual minorities in Uganda.
We are very happy today to have as our witnesses two officials from the Department of Citizenship and Immigration. They are Rénald Gilbert, who is the director general for the international region, and Debra Pressé, who is the acting director general for refugee affairs.
I'm sure our clerk has already briefed you about how these things work, and for all I know you are very experienced parliamentary committee attendees. I see one head shaking. Practice makes perfect, and you'll soon be able to do this sort of thing in your sleep.
At any rate, we are very interested to hear what you have to say. I invite you to begin your presentation.
Thank you.
