We'll begin our meeting today.
On our briefing on the human rights situation in Syria, we have two witnesses who are coming to us by video conference.
From Simcoe, Ontario, we have Anas Al-Kassem. He is a Syrian Canadian doctor who managed a medical team on the ground in Aleppo. He is co-founder of the Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations and chair of the union of Syrian relief organizations Canada.
Also by video conference from Surrey, England, we have Miles Windsor who is the advocacy and development manager at Middle East Concern, which is a collective of Christian organizations that monitors persecution and discrimination against Christians in the Middle East and north Africa.
Welcome to the committee.
We will begin with Mr. Al-Kassem, for 10 minutes. We'll go to questions after the two witnesses.
Thank you.
