Welcome to meeting 34 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration. This meeting is taking place in a hybrid format.
I have a few comments before we begin.
Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking.
For those of you on Zoom, typical Zoom etiquette applies. Click on your microphone to activate it and mute yourself when you're not speaking. Make sure that you have the translation channel that you need prepared right now, before we begin.
Colleagues, all comments should be addressed through the chair.
For our witnesses, you will each have five minutes for your opening remarks. Please keep it to five minutes. I will try to signal you when you have about a minute left.
Colleagues, today we are continuing our study on the provincial distribution of asylum seekers in Canada.
Welcome to our witnesses for today's meeting: Professor Christina Clark-Kazak, from the University of Ottawa, as an individual; Randy Donauer, city councillor, from the city of Saskatoon; and Kailee Brennan, from Matthew House, Ottawa.
Let's start with Professor Clark-Kazak.
You may begin with a statement of five minutes.
Thank you.
