Yes, certainly.
I think it's really important because there was some confusion, particularly from the Conservatives, about when the 10-year renewal was happening. They seemed to indicate that it was last year, but that's actually not the case because the first 10-year passports were issued in 2013. Last year had nothing to do with the 10-year renewal, despite what the Conservatives were saying.
This July will be the first time that there will be renewals for the 10-year passports. Because of the doubling of the workforce, the changes in the passport system and the additional offices that are providing services, we feel very confident with Service Canada that we can manage this volume.
We also have a simplified renewal process for anyone who had a passport issued in the last 15 years. I think Canadians can have quite a bit of confidence when it comes to renewing their passports, whether they are part of that first 10-year cohort or any other time.
