I call the meeting to order.

This is the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration, and today we are here, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), to discuss the study on Standing on Guard for Thee: Ensuring that Canada's Immigration System is Secure.

Our first two witnesses are Mark B. Slater, professor, School of Political Studies, University of Ottawa, and by videoconference, Peter Edelmann, a lawyer. We're looking forward to both your presentations, gentlemen. You have 10 minutes each.

Mark, we're going to start with you.
