We will continue our deliberations of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration as we continue our study.
I want to welcome today, from the Government of Saskatchewan, Mr. Eric Johansen, director, Saskatchewan immigrant nominee program, immigration branch, advanced education, employment and labour.
We also have Mr. John Hopkins, CEO of the Regina and District Chamber of Commerce.
Thank you for coming, and welcome.
We don't have our full committee with us at the moment. I was saying to Mr. Johansen that some of our members have bills going in the House of Commons and they have had to fly back and forth to be present in the House of Commons for these bills. But I do thank you.
We generally begin with opening statements, if you have any, and then our committee will engage in some questions and discussions. Mr. Johansen or Mr. Hopkins, you can start whenever you're ready.
Thank you.
