Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Madam Privacy Commissioner and associates, welcome to the committee again.
I'm having concerns about building sustainable organizational capacity. The way I see it, you are facing the same dilemma as any private business or private consulting company, and they are feeling the same way you're feeling about hiring employees and keeping them. When I look at your situation, it's even more complicated because you need people who go through a security clearance.
When I look at the next ten to fifteen years, the net labour growth in Canada is going to come from immigration, and when I look at the last two years, the number of permanent immigrants into this country has gone down by 36,000 people.
