I'm sorry for interrupting, but the time is up for Ms. Kwan.
With that, this panel comes to an end.
On behalf of all the members of this committee, I really want to thank and apologize to all of the witnesses for the delay. Sometimes if things are moved, we have to deal with them before we can go to the witnesses. I really want to apologize for the delayed start and the lesser duration we had to talk, but thanks a lot.
If there is anything you'd like to send to the committee, anything you were not able to bring today, you can always send a written submission and we will take it into consideration when we come to the drafting of the report.
With that, this panel comes to an end. I thank you all once again.
I will suspend the meeting for two or three minutes so that the clerk can do the sound checks for the next panel, and then we will come back.
Thank you. The meeting is suspended.
I call the meeting back to order.
As we start the second panel, I would like to welcome our witnesses today. I want to thank them for their patience for that delayed start.
In this panel, we are joined by the Canadian Association of Professional Immigration Consultants, being represented by Dory Jade, the chief executive officer. He is present in person. We are also joined by the chair of their board, Ms. Avni Marfatia.
Our other witness for today is Deacon Rudy Ovcjak, the director of the office for refugees of the Archdiocese of Toronto.
Welcome to all of the witnesses for today. Thank you for joining us and sorry for the delay.
We will begin with Mr. Jade.
Mr. Jade, you will have five minutes for your opening remarks. You can please begin.
