Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our two guests.
I'm going to go directly to my questions, and I'm going to direct my first set of questions to Mr. Bissett.
Mr. Bissett, are you aware that 25% of all refugee claimants are coming from the European Union and that of that 25%, 95% of the claims are either abandoned, withdrawn, or actually rejected. It takes up to two years, as you indicated, for the claim to be processed. Did you also know that it's costing taxpayers $170 million per year for these particular claims?
