Rob Oliphant at the Citizenship and Immigration Committee

I'm going to call the meeting back to order. Thank you very much.

We're going to welcome our witnesses who are coming to us by video conference.

Monsieur Elie, from Switzerland again, I recognize that it's very late for you. Thank you for joining us.

Mr. Axworthy from Manitoba, thank you for joining us.

Thank you to Mr. McArthur and Ms. Singh from CARE Canada, who are present.

I think we're going to begin with Mr. Elie, who is coming to us from the International Council of Voluntary Agencies in Geneva.

Each of the witnesses has seven minutes, and then we'll have some questions for them.

Please begin, Mr. Elie.

You may speak in French and English.
