Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for appearing before us today.
Let me also apologize. We have no choice when there are votes; our time in the committee gets somewhat shortened.
Mr. Gooch, I wonder if I could start with you, sir.
It is evident that your organization has similar interests to the Tourism Industry Association of Canada, which appeared before us last week. In their testimony, they explained that the visa application centres have greatly improved the visa system, especially in markets like the one you mentioned frequently in your presentation, Brazil.
Would you agree with that, sir?
