Thank you to our witnesses for their testimony today.
I have one question, and I would like both Mr. Smith and Mr. Ramadan to comment on this. Earlier this year, when Aung San Suu Kyi came to Canada, I had the opportunity, along with the chair of our committee, Mr. Levitt, to meet with her along with our foreign affairs minister, and ask her directly about what was happening in Rakhine State, and what she is willing to do with the issue of the Rohingya. She, in her response, had shown favour to the advisory committee that was created and chaired by Kofi Annan, and the recommendations.
Can both of you speak to the recommendations that were from that committee, and whether it would be favourable for if not a short-term solution then perhaps a long-term solution to the issue?
Also, with respect to the 1982 citizenship act that Mr. Arkani referred to, can you comment on what specific changes could be made to that act to allow the Rohingya to come back in and resettle into Rakhine State?
I would like Mr. Smith to go first. Thank you.
