Welcome back. I think we'll go for about up to an hour, and then we're going to go in camera to discuss some committee business.
We now have with us some officials from the Department of Citizenship and Immigration. We have: Mr. Andrew Griffith, director general of the citizenship and multiculturalism branch; Ms. Nicole Girard, director of legislation and program policy; and we have Monsieur Alain Laurencelle, legal counsel, integration and admissibility team, with legal services.
Do you want to make an opening statement, Mr. Griffith?
