I'd also like to acknowledge Olivia Chow, who has been on the immigration committee for a good long time. It's good to have you here.
We have with us officials from the Department of Human Resources and Skills Development and also from the Department of Citizenship and Immigration.
You will present, of course, and then we'll have an opportunity for rounds of questioning from each of the parties. If at some point you need to interject and want me to rule on an issue, let me know.
With that, we'll start with Mr. Vermaeten.
