Citizenship and Immigration committee  At this point we are translating the products we have to make them available.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  There's no money set aside specifically. We're looking at this through normal budget processes.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We'll certainly look into it and do our best.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The policy interpretation that we've taken to begin “monitoring” at the time an application is filed is really driven by our ability to control what happens beyond that process, during proceedings before the minister.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I am not sure. I would have to check the website, sir.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  As I said, we've recently developed the new materials and we'll be translating those for diffusion out to the missions.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We are always looking at our materials. We have to cooperate with the Department of Foreign Affairs in terms of mission-specific websites. We have a number of priorities within the department and we are now turning our attention to this one.
