Good morning, everyone.
I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 22 of the Subcommittee on International Human Rights.
This meeting is happening in a hybrid format, pursuant to the order of June 23, 2022.
I have a few comments for the witnesses and the members here in person and participating by Zoom.
Please wait until I recognize that you have the floor. When you speak via Zoom, and even in person, speak slowly and clearly for the interpreters. They interpret what you're saying and put that into another language, either English or French.
For those participating by Zoom, you can choose either floor, English or French.
Today we're going to be continuing the study on Haiti.
We have two witnesses appearing in person and several others participating by videoconference.
First, we have with us, in the room, Monique Clesca, Journalist, Writer and Pro-Democracy Activist, from the Bureau de suivi de l'Accord de Montana.
Also in person we have, from Partners In Health Canada, Mark Brender, national director.
We have online, from Centre d'analyse et de recherche en droits de l'homme, Gédéon Jean, chief executive officer. From the International Crisis Group, we have Renata Segura, associate director, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Diego Da Rin, consultant, Latin America and the Caribbean.
We also have, participating by Zoom, Pastor Jean Kisomair Duré, from the Protestant Federation of Haiti.
Everyone will have five minutes for opening remarks, except for the International Crisis Group. Given that you have two witnesses with us, both of you together will have five minutes.
I'll now open up the floor.
We will begin with Monique Clesca.
I'll give a hand signal when you have one minute left and when you have 30 seconds left. I'll have to interject once we get to five minutes.
Thank you.
