Mr. Chair, when we met with CIC officials, there were a lot of questions left lingering. One of the individuals said they were instructed to delay citizenship cases, and when she was asked by whom, there was no forthcoming answer. I'd like to get the officials back here to get to the bottom of this.
The other thing is that they said the RCMP has been asked to expedite citizenship cases for lost Canadians. After checking with the RCMP and some of the lost Canadians who are affected, I don't see that this is the case.
I'd like to get answers to those questions. As well, the bureaucrats did not finish testifying before us and giving us the complete picture.
One thing is that we were told by the minister that there are 467 cases. When the bureaucrats were here, they said that 400 cases were held behind to see what would happen with the Joe Taylor decision. Clearly, that's not the picture the minister or the deputy minister gave us, so we need to get clarification of that.
