Thank you, Mr. Chair, for convening this meeting on the situation of Hazaras in Afghanistan.
Thank you to all the witnesses for being here today to provide their testimony.
I'm subbing in for my colleague, MP Heather McPherson, who has been engaging with that Hazara community regularly, especially since the fall of Kabul in August 2021.
Before I begin my questioning, I'd like to read into the record a motion that was circulated by Heather McPherson in regard to a study she would like the committee to conduct in the fall.
