Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Doyle, would it be possible for me to make a couple of concluding remarks?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  First of all, we just want to thank you once again for having us here today, and we want to say thanks to the 38th Parliament CIMM for passing the motion last year. As you can see, we have members here from across Canada--Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa, including members of the United Buddhist Congregation--who have come out to support us.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  It would be great if you could do that.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  My name is Max Vo. Good afternoon, Mr. Chair and esteemed members of the committee. I want to thank you once again for allowing us to appear for a second time in front of the committee. I'm going to be representing SOS Viet Phi Canada. Appearing as my expert witnesses today are Hoi Trinh, a Vietnamese Australian lawyer who heads the legal aid office in the Philippines; Mai Nguyen, a Vietnamese Canadian who has volunteered at that same legal aid office in the Philippines; and attorney Richard Mahoney, who is our legal counsel.
