Good afternoon. I call the committee to order.
This is the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are studying the strengthening of the protection of women in our immigration system. This meeting is televised. We have three witnesses before us today.
We have Debbie Douglas, who is the executive director of the Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants. Good afternoon to you, Ms. Douglas.
We have Queenie Choo, who is the chief executive officer of S.U.C.C.E.S.S., and we have Amel Belhassen, who is the representative of the women's file. Good afternoon to you.
