I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 12 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format.
I think we have a few motions to start off with, but I will just get started with giving the introductory comments first.
I want to make a few comments for the benefits of our witnesses and always as reminders to our members as well.
For those who are joining us on Zoom, kindly click on the microphone icon to activate your mic, and please mute yourself when you are not speaking. As a reminder for those on Zoom, at the bottom of your screen, you can select the appropriate channel for interpretation: floor, English or French. For those in the room, you can use the earpiece and select the desired channel.
As always, kindly wait until I recognize you by name before speaking. I will remind everyone to kindly not speak over each other, as it will be very hard for our translators to translate, and it makes their job difficult.
Of course, please ensure that all of your comments are addressed through the chair. Members, please raise your hand if you wish to speak. The clerk and I will manage the speaking order the best we can.
I have sadly forgotten my red card and yellow card today, but I will give you a one-minute warning, and then I will let you know when your time is up and your microphone will turn off.
Thanks in advance for your co-operation.
Before we get into the order of the day, I'm going to turn to Ms. Rempel Garner. I think she has a couple of motions to introduce.
