Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I will reiterate what you said in your introduction earlier: we have very prestigious and relevant guests today, as usual. However, this time, it is even more so. You, the witnesses, are proof of that today.
Mr. Kurland, I will speak to you first. I know that you said you do not want to get into politics. However, you noted something that is very important: immigration.
I am currently at my constituency office, as is our chair, Mr. Masse and Mr. Williams. There are several of us at our constituency offices on this Friday. I am sure that my honourable members will tell you the same thing: we have a lot of new immigration cases every day.
I would like to hear from you about the measures that could be suggested to the government to make the system much more flexible and effective, and to allow more people from around the world to become Canadians.
