Welcome to the Subcommittee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.
Today, February 10, 2011, marks our 44th meeting, and we will be discussing sexual violence against women and children.
We are going to have a quite distinguished witness in a moment, but I can see that we haven't yet established a sound link. While we're waiting for the technician to take care of that, we will deal with two procedural matters.
First of all, Mr. Silva has submitted a motion today, which will be circulated. Under our rules it won't be available for debate until next Tuesday, but it relates to the blasphemy laws in Pakistan. Second, Professor Cotler had a suggestion that he alerted me to regarding a potential item for discussion. I thought, professor, you could enlighten us about that.
