I call the meeting back to order.
I'd like to welcome our second panel of witnesses.
First, we have Alexander Waxman, an expert in the protection of internally displaced persons and refugees for over 12 years with UN humanitarian agencies in sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa, the Middle East, South Asia and Southeast Europe. He is appearing as an individual.
We also have Lauren Lallemand, co-executive director of the Canadian Council for Refugees, who is participating in the meeting by video conference.
Finally, from Doctors Without Borders in Canada, we have Jason Nickerson, humanitarian representative.
Welcome to all of you. Up to five minutes will be given for opening remarks, after which we will proceed with rounds of questions.
Mr. Waxman, you have the floor for five minutes.
The floor is yours.
