Thank you, Chair.
Mr. Boekhoven, thank you very much for your time. Certainly your job is not an easy one, but thank you very much for all you do on behalf of Canada and Canadians.
In your opening statement, you said that the regional insecurities make it difficult to complete your job successfully and in a timely manner. Can you please tell us in detail what kind of regional insecurities affect the region? In what ways does that affect your work at the mission? Would you also please tell us how it impacts the application processing time?
