We are going to call meeting 154 of the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration to order.
In the first hour, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are going to receive a briefing on the changes to the caregiver program. We have invited officials from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. We have two directors, Mr. Barry and Mr. Cashaback, to brief us and then the committee will ask questions of them on the recent changes announced by the minister. This is at your request.
We thank you for coming again. I know that the last time that we hoped to do this we were cancelled, so thank you for rescheduling. We turn it over to you for your presentation, and then we'll have the committee ask you some questions.
