It won't be today.
I don't mean to be so flippant; we'll get to it...sometime.
Is there a general consensus that the chairman and the clerk will try to arrange for five and five on Thursday, and we'll keep our fingers crossed that there's peace, order, and good government? I see there is.
Then Ms. Chow's suggestion was that we would then revert to the foreign workers study on the first Tuesday back. Is there general consensus on that? I see a nodding of heads, but no hands. That gives me and the clerk some guidance. Thank you very much.
I would like to introduce two people who seem to be here all the time. From the Department of Citizenship and Immigration, we have Mr. Rick Stewart, associate deputy minister of operations; from the Department of Justice, we have Ms. Dawn Edlund, senior general counsel. You are here to brief us on the study of funding of settlement services. Could one or both of you make some introductory comments? After those remarks, we'll proceed with questions.
Welcome to the committee.
