Okay.
Everyone has agreed. Thank you.
I would now like to get to the main reason for this meeting today and welcome our witnesses for our first hour.
As an individual, back by popular demand, we have Mr. Barutciski, who is a professor at York University. We also have Anita Stellinga, who is the chief executive officer of COSTI Immigrant Services.
Welcome to both of you. Thank you for coming in person. It's always nice to see people in person.
We are also very pleased to warmly welcome Steve Jacques, the commissioner of human services for Peel Region, who is joining us by video conference.
Up to five minutes will be given to each of you for your opening remarks, after which we will proceed to the rounds of questions. I'm going to start off with Mr. Barutciski for five minutes. We'll follow with Ms. Stellinga, and then we'll round it out with Mr. Jacques.
Mr. Barutciski, you have five minutes, and it starts now.
