I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 88 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration.
For the first hour, we are continuing our study of closed work permits and temporary foreign workers.
I am pleased to welcome Mr. Tomoya Obokata, all the way from the U.K. He is the United Nations special rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery. He is joining us online.
Welcome, Mr. Obokata. You have five minutes for your opening remarks. Then we will have questions.
Please go ahead. The floor is yours.
