Good afternoon everyone. I'm going to call to order this meeting on the subcommittee on international human rights.
We are continuing our study on human rights surrounding natural resource extraction in Latin America. We're joined today by teleconference with guests from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, in particular Kathryn Dovey, manager, national contact point coordination, responsible business conduct unit; and also Tyler Gillard, manager, sector projects, responsible business conduct unit. Also, we have with us from the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Dante Pesce, member, working group on the issue of human rights and transnational corporations and other business enterprises.
From France and Chile, we have guests with us today who are here to testify. I won't delay any longer. We'll maybe give you each seven minutes or so. Then we can move to questions from the members of the subcommittee. Perhaps we could have the OECD contingent lead off, followed by Mr. Pesce.
Thank you very much. Please proceed.
