Welcome to the 42nd meeting of the Subcommittee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development. Today is Tuesday, November 4, 2014, and this meeting is televised.
We are continuing to study the aftermath of the Rwandan crisis, an issue the subcommittee recently determined ought to be examined.
We have two individuals with us today as witnesses, both from the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development. DFATD is the new acronym. I'm having some trouble adjusting to that one. At any rate, Kenneth Neufeld is the director general of the west and central Africa bureau at DFATD. Leslie Norton is the director general of the international humanitarian assistance directorate.
I know you have already discussed between yourselves who ought to go first, so I will allow you to begin. Once you're done, we'll look at the clock to see how much time is left, divide it by six, and that will determine the length of the question-and-answer rounds for each of the members.
I invite you to begin, please.
