We'll start the meeting.
I would like to make a few comments for the benefit of witnesses and members.
Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking. For those participating by video conference, click on the microphone icon to activate your mic, and please mute yourself while you are not speaking. For those on Zoom, at the bottom of the screen, you can select the appropriate channel: floor, English or French.
This is a reminder that all comments should be addressed through the chair.
I would now like to welcome our second panel of witnesses.
We're studying human rights in Cuba.
From the Canadian Network on Cuba, we have Samantha Hislop, co-chair, by video conference. From the Cuban Observatory of Human Rights, we have Alejandro Gonzalez, executive director, also by video conference. From Prisoners Defenders, we have Mr. Javier Larrondo, president, by video conference.
Every one of you will have the floor for four minutes for introductions. Please try to keep to the time. Because we had a vote, we don't have enough time.
I would like to start with Madame Samantha Hislop.
You may take the floor for four minutes.
