I want to welcome all of you here today to our meeting of the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration. Today, of course, we're examining the main and supplementary estimates under Citizenship and Immigration.
I'm pleased to welcome Minister Finley back to our committee. And of course I want to welcome her deputy minister, Mr. Richard Fadden, and Mr. Wayne Ganim, who is the chief financial officer of the finance branch.
The minister is going to be here until five o'clock this afternoon, at which time she will have to go.
Minister, welcome to you and to your officials today. I would imagine you have an opening statement.
