I call the meeting to order.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Tuesday, February 1, 2022, we will resume the study of application backlogs and processing times.
We have three witnesses for this panel today. We have Mr. Ravi Jain, steering committee member for the Canadian Immigration Lawyers Association, who is joining us virtually. We have Saeeq Shajjan, founder and lawyer from Shajjan & Associates, who is here with us in person. He has travelled all the way from Toronto. We are also joined by Kyle Hyndman, chair, immigration law section, from the Canadian Bar Association.
Thank you to all the witnesses for appearing before the committee. All the witnesses will have five minutes for their opening remarks and then we will go into our rounds of questioning.
I would start with Mr. Jain.
The floor is yours. You can begin, please.
