Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to go back to Ms. Bendayan's earlier question about the 2,000 or so individuals—it seems there are more today—who are prohibited from entering Canada.
The information about the 2,200 individuals was obviously made public during the study of this bill by the Standing Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Trade last June. As I understand it, there are now 2,700 individuals.
The government representative added that, between 2017 and 2022, 25 individuals sanctioned under the United Nations Act, the Special Economic Measures Act or the Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act had been refused a visa. We know therefore that, of those 2,200 individuals, 25 were refused a visa.
Does that mean that some of those 2,200 individuals were granted a visa?
