Thank you, Chair.
I want to thank both of you for being here on this funny morning at the House. My apologies for the interruptions.
Mr. Summers, I know you were a last-minute replacement for Beverley Nann, from Vancouver, who was another member of the advisory panel and with whom I have met about these issues. She was hoping to be here and that didn't work out.
I am glad you mentioned your long history with the Canadian Council for Refugees. The Canadian Council for Refugees also had many concerns about the appointment process over the years. I believe the CCR would have seen the change that brought about the advisory panel and the work you were doing as a positive improvement in the process. Can you tell us how that discussion went over the years, and how you came to be on the advisory panel?
