Gentlemen, welcome to our committee. As you know, we've been holding hearings right across the country, and Iraqi refugees have been one of the three items that we've been discussing between Vancouver right on back to St. John's. We met in nine provinces in 12 days and we had quite a bit of discussion on this and other items.
I will turn it over to you to make some opening statements and then we will go to our committee members, who might want to make some comments as well.
Thank you.
