Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, thank you once again for joining us today, and thanks to all the officials who are here.
Madame Deschênes, let me just add my voice to a big thank you for your years of service, and I certainly wish you every success in your future endeavours.
Minister, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you, but first of all I'd like to start on the point of the money that is being refunded for the backlog of the federal skilled workers that we have. I'd like to hear your comments on that action.
