Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses. Mr. Neve, it's good to see you, and Mr. Pardy, it's great to have you here.
I will focus my questions on you, Mr. Pardy. I have a couple of questions about consular services, and I know how passionate you are and how influential you have been in this regard over the years. Because of the limited time, I'll ask two questions at once.
First, you know that there's been movement to prescribe a service standard for the consular division, yet you also understand how important it is that consular officials have flexibility in how they pursue each case. How do you balance these two priorities? Second, do you think the consular division has enough resources?
Thank you.
