I'll reconvene the meeting, which continues with our study of the impact of the irregular crossings at Canada's southern border.
We welcome and thank our witnesses for attending.
I'm going to begin with Minister MacLeod for seven minutes, and then we'll go to Mr. Hope, the mayor of Chatham-Kent, on teleconference. Then we'll go to Mr. Fortin, and then Mr. Boldt.
Madam Minister, go ahead.
