Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, we can all agree that streamlining these processes is a major endeavour. It's true for Service Canada, and for Citizenship and Immigration Canada. There's a range of issues to resolve.
As for the issue of temporary foreign workers, here are a few statistics. Before 2021, there was a five‑ to six‑week wait to get authorizations. Currently, you have to add eight to 15 weeks, on top of the time it takes to get work permits, which varies, depending on the country.
Are you currently working—yes or no—to streamline the process and cut down on processing times for the temporary foreign worker program?
