Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to greet my colleague Minister Mendicino and thank him for being with us tonight.
I think it is important to give you the opportunity to explain to the committee members all the efforts that have been made to try to mitigate the impact of this pandemic on the immigration system. I think it’s important that all members understand how the immigration process works and what important steps your department is taking.
Could you explain how activities in Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada centres around the world have been affected? Could you tell us how it was before the pandemic and how it is now, and what you have been able to do to help the immigration process? Then I have another question for you.
