I will call the meeting to order.
Good morning, everyone.
Welcome to meeting No. 19 of the Subcommittee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.
Thank you to all the members and witnesses for being here
This meeting is taking place in a hybrid format in conformity with the June 23, 2022, order.
Members are participating by Zoom and in person.
For the benefit of witnesses and members, please allow yourself to be recognized before speaking. We have a very good system in this committee that works well, but for the witnesses who are here, that's how we operate.
If you would like to have interpretation, for the witnesses in person you can use this little thing in front of me, and for those participating by Zoom just go to the globe icon. You can choose French or English, as you like.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), and the motion adopted on April 26, 2022, we're continuing our study on Haiti. Each witness will have five minutes for opening remarks, and then we will have a series of questions and exchanges with the members.
Today we have with us Frédéric Boisrond, a sociologist, and Andréanne Martel, a humanitarian program evaluation consultant and researcher, who are both appearing as individuals, with Ms. Martel participating by videoconference.
We also have, from the Association québécoise des organismes de coopération internationale, Michèle Asselin, executive director, by video conference.
Without further ado, we'll start with Monsieur Boisrond, who is here in person for five minutes.
Thank you for being with us.
