Human Resources committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My name is Natasha Pateman and I am the Acting Director General of the Foreign Credentials Referral Office, or FCRO, at Citizenship and Immigration Canada, CIC. I want to thank the committee for the opportunity to provide an overview on initiatives the

Human Resources committee  I'm sorry. I'm always a fast talker. Everybody's always telling me—

Human Resources committee  Absolutely.
