Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Through you, Chair, thank you, all, for being here today.
Citizenship and Immigration received the passport program last July, and as you know, our government is committed to fairness and respect for the hard-earned tax dollars of our citizens while ensuring, of course, the delivery of a quality service. The passport program does provide one of the highest levels of service, and the service standards in Canada are being respected in over 99% of the cases.
Would you be able to tell me how many passports were issued last year?
