Thank you, Chair.
Indeed, I am now a professor in the School of Public Policy and Governance at the University of Toronto. My mother finally understands the nature of my titles.
I was the President of the Institute for Research on Public Policy in Montreal. I published several studies on the immigration system. Before that, I spent 30 years in the federal public service.
I want to make an important point. I served as deputy minister in several portfolios, never for Immigration, I might add, but when I was Clerk of the Privy Council and secretary to the cabinet and head of the public service, it was for the Liberal government of Jean Chrétien.
