I would like to thank the organizers and Professor Simeon in particular for their kind invitation. A mere four months from my appointment as the sixth Chairperson of the IRB, I am very pleased to have a chance to discuss our priorities with such a distinguished group. Interestingly, this speaking engagement comes hard on the heels of my address to the Canadian Bar Association's Immigration Division last week in Ottawa.

As a member of the Quebec Bar since 1980, it is both a pleasure and an honour for me to be able to address this audience for the first time as Chairperson of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada. Thank you very much to the organizers for inviting me.

Thank you for inviting me to speak to you all today. I am finding that themes of this event today are really resonating with me: Regulatory excellence has been top of mind for me and for our organization lately. I have recently been travelling across Canada, engaging with people all across the country and especially in areas with NEB-regulated facilities: I have heard plenty about the issues, and about ways that our organization could improve its work. It was important to hear that and we are going to take action on that- but I'll say it is really refreshing to have an opportunity to reflect on the stuff that we - and the other federal regulators - are doing right! Canadian regulators are doing tremendous work all across the country, and it is great to hear some of the specific examples.
