Good afternoon, everyone. This is the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration, meeting number 60, on Monday, November 19, 2012. This meeting is televised. We're studying Bill C-43, An Act to amend the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
We have two witnesses before us today. The first is the Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants, represented by Amy Casipullai—every time you come here I pronounce your name wrong and I'm sorry; you'd think I'd know—and Francisco Rico-Martinez. Good afternoon to both of you.
We also have Jacques Shore, who is a partner with Gowlings, which I assume is the law firm. Good afternoon to you too, sir.
We will let you go first, Mr. Shore. You have up to 10 minutes to make a presentation.
