Given our client base, the citizenship application fees and permanent residence application fees do present a serious barrier for many families. We made no submissions in this context because it's not part of the act. To the extent those fees can be reduced or can somehow be tied or related to income, or that there be exceptions allowed for people who are impoverished, I think that would be an important way to get rid of one of the barriers to citizenship for our clients.
