Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Just to clarify, I will be taking the first hour, and then MP Lindsay Mathyssen will be taking the second hour.

Thank you so much, Minister, for coming to the committee.

To also acknowledge the land, I'm Zooming in from the land of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh peoples here in Vancouver.

Minister, in terms of the change in the language of the citizenship oath, could you advise whether or not either you or your officials consulted directly with the chief commissioner, Murray Sinclair, on the changed language? If so, what were his thoughts on that?
