We now have a quorum, and I will call our meeting to order.
Today we are receiving a briefing on undocumented workers. We have here today the Department of Citizenship and Immigration, the Canada Border Services Agency, and the Department of Human Resources and Social Development. Our witnesses will be Mr. Les Linklater, director general of the immigration branch; Heidi Smith, director of permanent resident policy and program development; Robert MacDougall, director general of the enforcement programs directorate; and Andrew Kenyon, director general, temporary foreign workers directorate.
Welcome to all of you. I think you are familiar with how we proceed. I'm sure you have opening statements you want to make. So we will proceed in the order you want to make them, and then our committee will engage in some discussion and questions.
Welcome.
