Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
This is the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration, meeting number 7 of Tuesday, April 13, 2010. We have two groupings today.
The first grouping will go from 3:30 until 4:30. Before us we have three groups, representatives from the Metro Toronto Chinese and Southeast Legal Clinic, the Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants, and the Canada Employment and Immigration Union.
Good afternoon to you all. Welcome to the committee.
We are studying immigration application process wait times. That is the topic. The process is that each group will have up to 10 minutes to speak, and then members of the committee will ask questions in seven-minute rounds. Probably that's all we'll have time for, the seven-minute round.
We will proceed with Ms. Avvy Yao-Yao Go.
You're on the air. Thank you for coming.
