Good morning, and thank you for coming to the committee. Indeed your work is of interest.
One of the things that got my attention was the United Church saying, with Sir Humphrey Appleby in Yes Minister, that if you build hospitals, people will come. Also you were saying that if we have a refugee system that works, certainly people will apply to it.
I'm wondering if you would comment on this. Also you said that some of the visa offices were excellent, but some view you as adversaries. Could you please let us know which visa posts saw you as adversaries, if you remember? This is very important for the record, as you've stated that some of them have...and some of your recollection of what happened at those visits.
I also understand that some of you met with the minister on October 1 and put forward some recommendations. Am I correct? Could you please elaborate on that? Or if you didn't, what would you like to see done?
