I now call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 58 of the Subcommittee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.
Today's meeting is in hybrid format.
I would like to remind participants of the following instructions: Please wait until I call your name before speaking. To indicate that you wish to speak, please raise your hand if you are present in person, or use the “raise your hand” function if you are participating in the meeting via the Zoom application. The committee clerk and I will do our best to maintain speaking order. All comments should be addressed to the chair.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the subcommittee on September 24, 2024, the subcommittee is beginning its study of forced migration patterns in different regions of the world.
I would like to welcome our witness, Ms. Christina Clark‑Kazak, professor at the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Ottawa.
Welcome, Professor. You will be given a maximum of five minutes for your remarks, after which members of the committee will ask you a series of questions.
You have the floor.
