Good morning.
Pursuant to the order of reference received by the committee on March 21, 2016, the committee will now proceed to the consideration of Bill C-6, an act to amend the Citizenship Act and to make consequential amendments to another act.
The minister should be with us shortly. However, senior department officials are here to discuss the implications of Bill C-6, and I invite Ms. Tapley to proceed with any opening comments she may have.
