I was wondering if we could take advantage of the appearance of members of the IRCC to ask a few questions regarding the protection of classified information for the purposes of immigration proceedings. As you know, the Anti-terrorism Act of 2015 very much amended the procedures when it came to the use of sensitive and confidential information as it related to appeals in judicial reviews.
I understand that both the IRCC and your department are seeking additional funding for the use and protection of such classified information. I was wondering if you could kindly explain to me what specific challenges the department wishes to address by obtaining such additional funding.
