This is the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration meeting number 19, Wednesday, April 2, 2014. We are studying strengthening the protection of women in our immigration system.
This meeting is televised.
We have three groups of witnesses. We have Salma Siddiqui and Tahir Gora who represent the Coalition of Progressive Canadian Muslim Organizations. We have Kamal Dhillon, author of Black and Blue Sari, and Denise Spitzer, who is the Canada research chair in gender, migration, and health from the University of Ottawa.
I assume you're a professor.
