Order, please.
This is the Subcommittee of International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development. Today, December 3, 2013, is our seventh meeting.
We are televised today. We are continuing our study of the human rights situation in Sri Lanka. As a witness today we have David Petrasek, who is a professor at the University of Ottawa.
Professor, I understand that you've already been informed by our clerk about the length of the presentation. Please take the time you need. I'll decide how long the question and answer responses will be, based on how much time is left, so that all the parties get an equal chance to ask you questions and hear your responses.
