Thank you for your response, Mr. Minister.
I wanted to touch on Hong Kong. During our study on Hong Kong, some things struck us. Several Hong Kong residents [technical difficulties] about their peaceful demonstrations, and witnesses wondered with some trepidation whether the officers processing their cases were aware of the environment and the rapidly evolving situation in Hong Kong.
I know the government invested resources in the Immigration and Refugee Board, the IRB, and has asked it to seek efficiencies at all times to improve its flexibility, its processing times and the accuracy of its decisions.
Can you tell us more about the changes implemented at the IRB to make it easier for Hong Kong residents to come to Canada?
