Good morning, everyone. This is the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration, meeting number four, Thursday, October 20, 2011. We are televised today.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are studying immigration application backlogs in light of the action plan for faster immigration.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a problem. We're half an hour late already. We have a choice. Mr. Davies, you'll notice that in the second round of witnesses we only have two witnesses. The third one was from the NDP list. That person got involved in a motor vehicle accident and is unable to come. That's the reason why there are only two names.
