Dr. Patti Tamara Lenard
Citizenship and Immigration committee I'll be happy to do that. The United States and Australia both considered this within the last four years and turned it down.

Dr. Patti Tamara Lenard
Citizenship and Immigration committee Thank you very much for inviting me back to speak to the committee.

If you want to keep

I wrote that sentence yesterday, that Canada is a world leader, and then I added, using track changes, “but this is at risk”. I think you have identified features of that risk. The

Prof. Patti Tamara Lenard
Citizenship and Immigration committee Thank you very much for your question. I feel in general very wary of moving activities that are essential to state interests to private companies.

Professor Patti Tamara Lenard
Citizenship and Immigration committee That's fine, so long as this doesn't count toward my time. I'd like to thank all of you for having me here today. It's a real pleasure.
