Good morning. This is the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration, meeting seven, on Tuesday, November 1, 2011. This is a televised meeting.
Our orders of the day, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), are to continue our study of the immigration application backlogs in light of the action plan for faster immigration. The meeting will be shorter because of our meeting in camera for the first 15 minutes.
We have two witnesses who are present here in Ottawa.
Martin Collacott is the spokesperson for the Centre for Immigration Policy Reform.
Good morning, sir.
