Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  This is the Burton report.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  There are some other omissions.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  No. That is the version of December 31, and it contains additional information. So it is Mr. Burton's first version.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  That's not the public version. The public version was dated April 2006.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  According to page 4 of the December version of this report, “Findings based on the classified materials consulted are given in a classified appendix to this report”. I assume that's what this is. So these are some additional findings that are not integrated in its first draft, in the December version of the draft.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  On May 10, next week.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Mr. Marston, if I could clarify the situation of North Korean refugees in China, would it be part of the study on human rights in China and incorporated into the report, or would you see it as a separate thing?

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Okay, thank you.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  The one concern--just to clarify that--is the amount of time devoted to the meeting if we have up to four witnesses, plus we have the session with the officials from DFAIT on the confidential portions of Mr. Burton's report, and there was an agreement to discuss a draft outline for the report on the bilateral human rights issue.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  There are two separate things. The Burton report involves DFAIT officials. It's an in-camera meeting, but we would need, I'd imagine, at least half an hour. There was also some time to be scheduled to discuss what would go into a draft report on China so that I could start drafting over our two-week break period.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  We could have 45 minutes with Mr. Mendes and 45 minutes with Mr. Lu Ducheng, and then go to half an hour on the Burton report and half an hour on the draft outline. Would that be okay?

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  It's a document outlining possible elements of a report, because there hasn't been a decision. It's there, it can be converted, formatted into a report. That's not a problem.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  You have a discussion document, if you want to go with that. You have a base for a discussion. It would be awfully tight to get anything through to the main committee before the winter break in any case, even if we deal with that next week. Just as a point of clarification, I prepared a short summary for the last committee a year ago.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  If I get instruction from the committee to draft a report, I can then proceed to do that. It's basically there, but I have to have the instruction from the committee to do that.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Next week is the break week. There's a list of witnesses that was circulated for comments. The first would be for the meeting in two weeks and the second for the meeting in three weeks.
