Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for joining us today and for your testimony.
I also want to thank our officials for joining us today. I look forward to hearing from all of you.
Let me begin by wishing all of our friends in the Jewish community who are celebrating today a Hag Hanukkah Sameach.
Minister, in your testimony you referred a fair bit to backlogs and the significant actions that our government has taken to reduce those backlogs. Could you tell us if no actions had been taken what the backlog would be today compared to what it is now?
