Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you for welcoming me to the Citizenship and Immigration Committee. I want to say hello to the permanent members of the committee, to welcome them and wish them a productive trip. It's by going out into the field that you can gather a lot of information.
Without further ado, I'll turn to you, Ms. Depatie-Pelletier. Thank you for coming to meet with us. I was surprised at the tone of your remarks. The least we can say is that you are an immigration law expert. You have taken a fairly troubling reading of certain classes of workers. For example, according to the statistics, we took in more than 430,000 immigrants last year. The percentage of workers you referred to, who are not under an umbrella... I'd like to hear what you have to say on that subject.
