Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank both Monsieur Jobin and Madame Silvestri Corriveau for being here this morning. I'm sure you have very busy schedules, and taking a day to be in Ottawa probably complicates your life.
I also want to thank you for taking on this very difficult job on behalf of Canadians. All of us who work in the area of immigration and refugee issues know how difficult the cases that you hear are, and frankly just how emotionally difficult it is to do your job. I want to thank you for the work that you do on behalf of all of us, because I realize it's not the easiest task to be assigned in our society.
Monsieur Jobin, I'm glad you raised the issue of the performance appraisal program because that is what I wanted to ask both of you about. You mentioned that you had gone through this process, I gather more than once, as an appointee and a reappointee.
Madam Corriveau, have you gone through the performance appraisal process as well?
