Our meeting will now come to order.
I want to welcome all of you here today. I welcome the Canadian Council for Refugees and thank them for having taken time out of their busy schedules to be with us today to talk about refugee issues. I welcome the three members: Francisco Rico-Martinez, co-chair of the working group on inland protection; Janet Dench, executive director; and Debra Simpson. Welcome to our committee today.
Generally, the format is that you have ten minutes or so to make your presentation to the committee. Then we will go into questions and discussion and what have you, starting at the left and going right around the table.
I will turn the meeting over to you for your presentation.
Good morning.
