Executive Director, Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants

I'm sorry.

During the pandemic, during the whole COVID situation, our agencies have been the places that newcomers have been turning to for support, for information about income supports, for support in filing income taxes, for interpretation and translation of information about income supports.

We want to say a special thank you to IRCC for keeping the sector going by having workers stay on the job and by being flexible in allowing organizations to be responsive to the needs that they're seeing in their local communities.

Thank you. I look forward to our discussion.
