This is April 30, 2013, and I call to order the 79th hearing of the Subcommittee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are resuming our study on the human rights situation in Honduras.
We have as a witness here today, Rick Craig, the executive director of the Justice Education Society of British Columbia.
Mr. Craig, we're delighted to have you here as a witness.
I was trying to hustle things at the beginning in order to make sure we hear all of your testimony and have enough time to ask questions.
When we're having meetings in this room, we sometimes suffer from the fact that, at the end, members have to skedaddle back to the House of Commons, in a different building. Sometimes, we have to wrap things up before we have been able to appreciate all that a witness has to offer. Thus, the attention to speed. But, you're here, and we're here.
We invite you to begin your testimony. When you're done, we'll then go to questions from the members of the committee.
