Thank you, Chair.
I want to thank you folks for being here again. The work that the CCR does across Canada and with all your member organizations is so important to so many people. Thank you for all of that.
I'm hopefully going to give you a chance to say a few things in my seven minutes. I'm wondering, first, Debra, if you might say something about the private sponsorship program. It's a hugely important program, and as you said, it has been unique in the world. I think it has been a model for the world and something the world has envied. The government often tells us now that they see it being used as a back door for family sponsorship. How do you folks respond to that comment, and how do you see the program being used? Who's in that backlog of 14,000 cases?
