Order, please.
We will resume our consideration of Bill C-37. We will go to our departmental officials here today.
Thank you for coming: Mr. Mark Davidson, director of the legislation and program policy division of citizenship branch; Ms. Ann Heathcote, senior policy adviser; and Lori Beckerman, acting team leader, senior counsel.
Welcome.
I think you know the procedure, Mr. Davidson, and I think you have a statement that you want to make.
