There are a number of specific issues they want to address.
I believe the Liberals are okay with meeting afterwards.
Mr. Comartin, are you okay with meeting them after our meeting?

The issues they want to deal with are institutional protection against discrimination; protection of minorities; the position of Canadian authorities toward an institution of positive discrimination, whatever that is; right to assembly; legal limitations and/or ban, e.g. gatherings of extremist groups; and the Canadian system of promotion and cooperation of the governments and NGOs, with a particular focus on the field of human rights.
These are issues they want to discuss with us. I'm proposing we give them one hour of our time. Is that all right?

What is on the agenda for Monday, June 1? Is it sex trafficking? Unfortunately, I will probably not be here, but....

The first hour will be on Bill C-25. The second hour will be Joy Smith on Bill C-268.

Does that mean we'll be here to tell them how we function, or can we ask them how they function? I'm interested in asking them about how they treat the Roma.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Ed Fast
It will be a two-way discussion.
I think we have agreement on that.
We are adjourned.
