Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
This is the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration, meeting number 37, Tuesday, December 1, 2009. We are dealing with supplementary estimates (B) 2009-2010: votes 1b, 5b, 7b, and 10b under Citizenship and Immigration and the report on the operation of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act for the year 2009.
We have before us the Honourable Jason Kenney, the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration and Multiculturalism, and his colleagues. There are too many of them to introduce. I'm going to let the minister do that.
Welcome, Minister Kenney, and thank you for coming once again to make your presentation to us and listen to our questions.
You have the floor, sir.
