We'll call the meeting to order. This is meeting number 41 of the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration, on Thursday, March 12. We are discussing the supplementary estimates.
We have representatives from the Department of Citizenship and Immigration here. Ms. Wilma Vreeswijk is the acting deputy minister. Good morning to you. I gather you're going to be making brief remarks before we get into a dialogue.
Also here is Tony Matson, who is the assistant deputy minister and chief financial officer. Good morning to you, sir.
Also here is Catrina Tapley, who is the assistant deputy minister of strategic and program policy.
Last but not least, we have a regular, Robert Orr, who comes here every time.
