Jim Carr at the Public Safety and National Security Committee

I call this meeting back to order.

With us this second hour we have William Browder, chief executive officer, Hermitage Capital Management, as an individual; Dr. Jeffrey Mankoff, distinguished research fellow, National Defence University; and Errol Mendes, professor of constitutional and international law, University of Ottawa.

Up to five minutes will be given for opening remarks, after which we will proceed with rounds of questions.

Let me begin with Dr. William Browder to make an opening statement of up to five minutes.

Go ahead, sir.
