Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
This is the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration. It is meeting number 36. It's Tuesday, November 26, 2009. The orders of the day are pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), a study of chapter 2, “Selecting Foreign Workers Under the Immigration Program” of the fall 2009 report of the Auditor General of Canada.
We indeed have as our guests today the Auditor General, Sheila Fraser, who is no stranger to these rooms, and her colleagues. Welcome, Madam.
We also have Richard Flageole--that is the correct pronunciation, I hope--who is the Assistant Auditor General, and Suzanne Therrien, principal. I'm not too sure what that means, but maybe you'll tell us.
So welcome. As you know, our witnesses have an opportunity to make an opening statement, followed by questions from our colleagues. I thank you for coming to go over your report with us. Thank you very much.
