The Chair Ms. Anita Vandenbeld (Ottawa West—Nepean, Lib.)

I'm calling the meeting order.

Thank you very much, all of you, for being here today.

I want to thank the members of the committee for being so flexible in allowing us to work on very short notice to bring in today's witness. She is only here in Canada for a short time, and this is her only opportunity to be here.

Thank you very much for being here, Ms. Barankitse, especially with less than 24 hours notice.

Today we will be updated on the human rights situation in Burundi and Rwanda.

We welcome Mrs. Marguerite Barankitse, President and Founder of Maison Shalom, who will talk to us about Maison Shalom Rwanda.

Thank you very much for being here. Please proceed with your opening remarks, and then we'll go to questions.
