I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 72 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration. Sorry for the delay because of the votes.
Today, we are continuing our study of the exploitation scheme targeting certain international students.
Before we begin, I will let all members know that because of the time period and services not being available for this meeting beyond 6:15 p.m., I've asked the clerk to cancel the second panel. They were coming in virtually in the second panel. I have kept the first panel, as they are here in person.
I would like to welcome two senior officials from the Canada Border Services Agency. They are Aaron McCrorie, vice-president, intelligence and enforcement; and Carl Desmarais, director general, enforcement.
Thanks and welcome. Sorry for the delay. You had to wait for almost an hour here.
You have five minutes for your opening remarks. Please begin, and then we will go to a round of questioning.
