The committee will now come to order. We will start our meeting.
I want to welcome here today Stan Raper, who is national coordinator of the agricultural workers program in the United Food and Commercial Workers Union.
We want to welcome as well the Canadian Association of Professional Immigration Consultants. It's good to have you here. We have Philip Mooney, national president, and Alli Amlani, president of the Ontario chapter.
From the Chinese Canadian National Council, we have Victor Wong, executive director.
Welcome to all of you. We have an hour, from one o'clock until two o'clock. I believe you are familiar with how the committee operates. You are given about a seven-minute opening statement, and then we'll go to questions and comments.
Mr. Raper is first.
