Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My name is Raymond Guénette, and I am the acting chief administrator of the Courts Administration Service. I am with Wayne Garnons-Williams, who is the registrar of the Federal Court of Canada.
Thank you for this opportunity to provide information on the operations of the Courts Administration Service in the Federal Court registry, immigration applications for leaves for judicial review, and judicial review procedures.
I would first like to make a point of clarification regarding the first item in the notice of meeting for the orders of the day, which says “Refugee Issues-Federal Court backlogs”. Federal Court backlogs are a thing of the past. The Federal Court is up to date in substantially all its work. That's very important.
I'll provide you with some contextual information regarding the organization that I head, the Courts Administration Service. The Courts Administration Service is a relatively new organization that came into force in 2003, and it evolved from the old regime of the Federal Court of Canada.
Yes, Madame?
