Thank you.
Welcome to meeting number 62 of the Subcommittee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format. I would like to remind participants of the following points.
Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking. All comments should be addressed through the chair. The committee members must raise their hand if they wish to speak, whether they're in the room or participating through Zoom. The subcommittee clerk and I will do our best to maintain the order of speakers.
Before introducing the witnesses, I would like to take a moment to draw the committee members' attention to a budget handed out to them last week. The budget authorizes expenses related to our study on the current status of deported Ukrainian children. If the members are ready to adopt this budget, we can do so now. Otherwise, if the members want more time to review the budget, we can come back to it next week.
Is the subcommittee ready to adopt the budget?
