Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Let me take this opportunity to thank the senior officials once more. Not only is this the third time that they have testified before us, but they also provide us with clear responses each time. They give us a lot of information about what is happening. That allows us to provide our constituents with better answers and explanations. In some cases it may even be a salve for their impatience.
That leads me to my first question. Do you believe that, in the future, it would be a good thing for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada to be more transparent as to what is going on in the department? There might even be a way to use members of Parliament to communicate information better.
One example comes to mind. In one go, 60,000 applications came in on IMM 0006 forms on October 8 and 9. That is a lot. Perhaps you were not expecting it. If we had been in the loop from the beginning, perhaps we would have been able to explain the situation to our constituents better, and lower their expectations as a result.
Do you think that it would be a good idea, in the future, if we were more in the loop and if there were a little more transparency about the various issues that IRCC is dealing with?
