I call the meeting to order. Good afternoon, everyone.
I want to welcome everyone to the 114th meeting of the Subcommittee on International Human Rights.
Welcome to our guests. From the Ukrainian Canadian Congress we have Ihor Michalchyshyn and Orest Zakydalsky. Gentlemen, thank you very much for being here.
The warm relationship between Canada and Ukraine I know is of great importance to the members in this room. We're expecting a visit from the Canada-Ukraine Parliamentary Friendship Group next week, and there will be lots of activity on the Hill in a very multipartisan way, acknowledging and embracing the warm relationship between our countries.
I want to give you the opportunity to take 10 to 12 minutes to give us an update on some of the key issues. Again, with the visit coming next week, that'll be very valuable. Then, of course, we'll open it up to the members to ask you some questions, as is our practice.
With that, gentlemen, please proceed.
