Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Well, Minister, I think for once we agree on something. Our immigration policy shouldn't be ableist, but it also needs to be cognizant of the need to ensure the sustainability of our social programs. It's a balance in this situation.
We've heard testimony from quite a few experts in the field who have made some suggestions on low-hanging fruit, as it would be, in terms of ways to change the process. One of the things that came up yesterday was the fact that it's not so much the legislative framework around this issue but how the rules are currently being applied.
We've heard about dozens of cases where the rules were applied either unevenly or improperly, so I'm just wondering, have you, as part of the review, instructed your department at all to look at perhaps a new training mechanism or some sort of service delivery standard to ensure that department officials are actually following the law consistently and perhaps putting some more consistency frameworks in place to apply the rules in this situation?
