This is the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration, meeting number 21, on Tuesday, February 14, 2012.
The orders of the day are pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), a study entitled “Standing On Guard for Thee: Ensuring that Canada's Immigration System is Secure”.
We have two groups of guests today, two of whom we see all the time. From the Department of Citizenship and Immigration, we have Mr. Linklater, who is the assistant deputy minister of strategic and program policy, and Madame Deschênes, who is the assistant deputy minister of operations.
We also have representatives from the Canada Border Services Agency. I don't recall seeing you here before, but welcome. We have Peter Hill, director general of post-border programs, and Pierre Sabourin, vice-president of operations branch.
Madame Deschênes, you will be speaking for up to 10 minutes, and the same for you, Monsieur Sabourin. Am I pronouncing your name correctly?
