Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, I'd like to talk about passports and how to make sure, based on what you've said, that we don't relive the drama of 2022.
I'm telling you this because I had to comment on the subject in an article for my political party. We were already hearing in the media that citizens could expect delays, probably because of the 45% increase. I don't know if that's the reason. It seems to me that the 2022 situation should have served as a lesson to Service Canada. We can't sustain such delays, which are unacceptable.
Are you planning to renew 10-year passports? Do you have the manpower and IT tools to meet this demand?
