Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you to both witnesses for coming to this committee again.
I'm going to focus on security in the temporary resident visa context.
James Bissett testified on Tuesday. He was a member of the Prime Minister's security advisory committee and a senior official in CIC some years ago. He said, and I'll quote, that security checks of people abroad, before they're issued visas, are virtually “non-existent”. He also said, by the way, that virtually none of the temporary foreign workers go through security or health checks before entering Canada.
Leaving the TFWs aside, in terms of the TRVs, do you do extensive security checks on people? Let's focus on Chandigarh. Do you do extensive security checks on those people before a decision is made on their TRV? Let's talk visitor visas.
