Welcome back.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motions adopted by the committee on October 4, 2016, and April 3, 2017, the committee will resume its study on immigration consultants.
We have with us today, from Matrixvisa Inc., Jacobus Kriek, director; as an individual, David Nurse, counsel at McInnes Cooper; and from the Alliance of Portuguese Clubs and Associations of Ontario, Mr. José Eustaquio, executive president.
I understand that LiUNA has two witnesses coming, but due to all of the cancelled flights into Ottawa today, they will be a bit late. We may see them arrive at the committee table. Hopefully, they'll have a chance to make opening remarks when they get here.
We will now begin with Mr. Kriek.
You have seven minutes. Go ahead, please.
