Good afternoon. 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 had Mr. David Arnold from the Australian High Commission scheduled, but I understand that an hour ago we unfortunately received a message that he had to stay on post. There will be a written submission. If there are any questions that have been prepared for this witness, please submit them. They'll be passed on to Mr. Arnold and responded to.
Before us today are Mr. Raj Sharma, managing partner, Stewart Sharma Harsanyi; and Mr. Lorne Waldman, barrister and solicitor, Lorne Waldman and Associates. Welcome, gentlemen.
Mr. Sharma, the floor is yours, for seven minutes.
