Thank you.
For the benefit of the officials and the minister, my questions relate to resources allocated to support casework processing inquiries, including the ministerial enquiries division, the minister's office, the information centre for members of Parliament and senators, and the client support centres run by the Department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship.
Minister, first, it's my understanding that under subsection 24(3) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, an immigration officer shall “act in accordance with any instructions that the Minister may make.”
Is this correct?
