I call this meeting to order. It's now 8:52 a.m. We have quorum to start.
Good morning.
I hope everyone is doing well.
We have two items on the agenda today.
This is meeting number 16 of the Subcommittee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.
This meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the House order of June 23, 2022. Members are attending in person in the room and remotely using the Zoom application.
For the proper order of this meeting, all members must be recognized before speaking. Whenever speaking, please speak clearly into the mike.
Interpretation is also available in the Zoom application.
I know everybody knows how to use it by now.
I remind you that all comments should be directed through the chair.
I would like to welcome a new member, Ziad Aboultaif, from Edmonton Manning.
Our first order of business is to elect a vice-chair.
After that, we're going to go into our study on Tigray.
I'd like to thank Mr. Cooper for his service to this committee.
Now, without further ado, we're going to open up the floor to nominations for our vice-chair. Do we have any nominations?
Mr. Aboultaif, go ahead.
