We'll start, ladies and gentlemen.
This is the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration, meeting number 32. We are here to study the main estimates under the Citizenship and Immigration Act.
We have before us a number of witnesses, including the Honourable Chris Alexander, the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration.
Minister, I'd like to welcome you to the committee and thank you for coming. I think we know all your colleagues, but you may wish to introduce them to the committee as well.
You may proceed, sir, with your presentation to us.
