I call the meeting to order.
I'm sure the rest of our committee members will be along. Question period was over at three o'clock; I don't know why they shouldn't be here now.
We'll continue with our second meeting today pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), consideration of the subject matter of part 6 of Bill C-50.
We have witnesses today for the first hour. From the Canadian Association of Professional Immigration Consultants we have Philip Mooney, the national president. Welcome again. We welcome as individuals Lorne Waldman, immigration lawyer, and Barbara Jackman, immigration and refugee lawyer. From the Canadian Council for Refugees we have Janet Dench, executive director. Welcome again, Janet. It's good to see you all.
You're all familiar with how we proceed, so if you have any opening statements, you may make them in any order you wish.
I will go to Mr. Waldman.
