Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
This is the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration. Pursuant to Standing Order 81(5), we are dealing with supplementary estimates (C) 2010-2011: votes 5c, 7c, and 10c under CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION, referred to the committee on Tuesday, February 8, 2011. And secondly, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are studying the immigration settlement and adaptation program.
Committee members, we decided to put these two together so the minister could speak on both at the beginning, as opposed to dividing the meeting up.
We have with us the Honourable Jason Kenney, the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, who is here this morning with his staff, who most of us know, who have been here before. I'll let him introduce them if he sees fit, if they will be speaking.
Minister, good morning to you. If you could address the committee, we would appreciate that.
