Thank you, Mr. Chair.
For the last year or year and a half, members of the citizenship and immigration committee have discussed trying to improve the visa system. Believing in goodwill, we want to see all parties participate in this. Some information would be advantageous for us, as committee members, to have.
In the area I represent I deal a lot with areas such as the Philippines, Chandigarh in India, and Ukraine. When I look at the percentages, 80% to 84% approval rating in Ukraine, in the low-80% rate in the Philippines, and as you pointed out earlier, 52% in Chandigarh, it would be nice to be able to contrast that. For example, the other day I was having a discussion with someone from Ukraine who indicated it was over 90%. I thought the person said it was an over-95% approval rating for those going to the States. I've heard similar comments, again using the United States, with regard to the Philippines.
Mr. Orr or Mr. Linklater, can you commit to providing us with information on approvals, at least on those three, and for whatever other countries you can find? It would be of great benefit to the committee. Another country I would like to look at as a comparison is the U.K. If that is possible, I would very much appreciate it.
If you want to comment, it would be great.
