Good afternoon.
This is the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration, meeting number 54, on Wednesday, October 24, 2012. This meeting is televised. Pursuant to the order of reference of Tuesday, October 16, 2012, we are studying Bill C-43, An Act to amend the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
Before I introduce our witnesses, I've been advised that a concurrence motion has been introduced in the House, so we may have a vote sometime this afternoon.
Mr. Lamoureux.
