The Chair (Mr. Robert Oliphant (Don Valley West, Lib.)) Liberal Rob Oliphant

I'm going to call this meeting to order. This is the 73rd meeting of the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration.

Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we're continuing our briefing on the issue of asylum seekers who are irregularly entering Canada from the United States.

We welcome both Minister Hussen and Minister Goodale to continue in our briefing.

We've heard from officials in both of your departments as well as from one agency. We're delighted you're here.

Because it's Mr. Goodale's birthday, we'll begin with his opening remarks, and then hear from Mr. Hussen.

See context to find out what was said next.
