Thank you, Madam Chair.
In order to maximize time for questions, I'm not going to read my remarks. I'll just make a couple of quick points.
First, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to this committee for the report it provided last week. It contains very important insights that will assist us in this area.
Second, the OAG recognized three areas where the planned reforms to the student visa program had the intended effect: the overall numbers were down; the student direct stream had been wound down; and verification letters from the educational institutions had been implemented. We'll probably not spend a lot of time on those positive findings.
I will say that the negative findings, in particular the lack of follow-through on fraud, are unacceptable. We've submitted management action plans to this committee. Hopefully, you have that, or at least it's with the clerk of the committee. For me, it was important that all of those actions be completed in calendar 2026. It's important for us to address these quickly.
Madam Chair, I have finished my remarks and am ready to answer questions from committee members.
