Welcome back. We will resume our second hour of committee hearings today.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the committee is holding a briefing with the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
It is my great pleasure and distinct honour to welcome to committee today Mr. Karim Khan, prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
We also have with us today Mr. Irwin Cotler, former minister of justice and attorney general as well as the founder and international chair of the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights.
In addition, we have Mr. Allan Rock, former minister of justice and attorney general as well as our former ambassador to the United Nations.
Mr. Prosecutor, you will be provided five minutes for your opening remarks, after which we will go to the members, who will be provided the opportunity to ask you questions. Once you're getting very close to the time limit, either in your opening remarks or when you're responding to any of the members, I will hold up this sign, which indicates that we'd be grateful if you could wrap it up as expeditiously as possible.
That having been said, Mr. Khan, we welcome you. You have five minutes for your opening remarks.
