Good afternoon. The chairman is occupied, so you're stuck with me for a while.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on October 4, 2016, the committee will commence its study on immigration consultants.
We have a number of people present today. From the Department of Citizenship and Immigration, we have Mr. Orr, whom you all know; Michael MacDonald, director general, immigration program guidance; David Cashaback, director general, immigration branch; and Michael Brandt, director, grants and contributions financial management.
Our list is a bit out of order. The third speaker will be Paul Aterman, deputy chairperson of the immigration appeal division of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, and the second speaker is Jennifer Lutfallah, director general, enforcement and intelligence programs, the Canada Border Services Agency.
Ms. Kwan has a notice of motion that she wishes to present before we commence.
