Good morning. I'm going to call to order this 106th meeting of the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration as we continue our study of the Immigration and Refugee Board's appointment, training, and complaint processes.
I begin by thanking Ms. Jacobs for returning after our last meeting and for being available.
Unfortunately, your colleagues who were also witnesses on the same day are not able to come, but we are glad you are here for questions from the committee.
In our first hour, we'll begin with Ms. Warner, who has a statement coming from the Canada Employment and Immigration Union as National Executive Vice-President.
Thank you for accepting our invitation to come to the committee. That's very good. You have time for a statement and then we'll turn it over to the committee, which will have questions for either of you in our first hour of the meeting. It's over to you, Ms. Warner.
