I thank the witnesses for their statements.
I have four questions, if I can get to them.
Mr. Hallan mentioned the two-year conditional PR status for spousal sponsorship. Wasn't the reason our government looked into that and removed it the vulnerability of a lot of certain spouses, particularly females, who would end up being in an abusive relationship with their spouse? They would have to be there under a certain condition because they feared their citizenship or PR status being repealed, so they ended up being in these conditions.
Did you not see that in some of the files that were presented to your department?
