Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank all the witnesses for joining us today for this important study.
Your backgrounds are different, but your expertise will help us produce this report and make our recommendations.
Ms. Meighen, you are an immigration lawyer. We are increasingly noting, following the Afghan, Ukrainian and Syrian crises, and even following certain crises like the one in Haiti, involving natural disasters, that the IRCC's response is always very slow. So some people are wondering whether we should implement an emergency mechanism at the IRCC, with various criteria that could apply differently depending on the context of a crisis that may occur tomorrow morning, in two years or in seven years.
Would you be in favour of the IRCC implementing that kind of a mechanism to respond much faster to future crises?
