Thank you very much, Monsieur St-Cyr.
I would, on behalf of the committee, express to all of you my sincerest gratitude for the input you've given on this issue. You've raised some very important points--points that I'm sure this committee will reflect upon. Essentially, whether you're talking about vacancy rates, high turnovers, a large backlog, or delays in processing, there's no question in my mind that the system requires major repair. Quite frankly, the entire immigration and refugee determination system per se may in fact require overall...not just a little tweaking of the system. You've given us a lot to think about.
I would like to thank you for the work you do on behalf of the people of Canada, and for providing us with very valuable information, which I am sure we will utilize wisely during our future study on refugees. Thank you very much.
I will suspend for five minutes.
