Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As you mentioned earlier, when it comes to the agreement between Canada and Jordan, the glass is either half-empty or half-full. Today's meeting is interesting in that it exposes us to other points of view. It also gives us some insight, especially into labour rights and human rights in Jordan.
My first question is for Mr. Wilcke. In an article that was published in February, you talked about violations of basic human rights by the state of Jordan, most notably the withdrawal of Jordanian citizenship from Jordanians of Palestinian origin. We know that approximately 2,700 Jordanians of Palestinian origin have been affected by this since 2004 and 2008.
Where do things stand today?
