Thank you, Madam Chair.
As Ms. Normandin pointed out, the pandemic created a unique set of circumstances that required the department to take specific steps in order to process immigration cases. That wasn't easy given the situation.
I think it's worthwhile to hear what Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada did to advance immigration cases in light of the pandemic, so I fully support inviting the minister, his staff and department officials to discuss the issues and the way things were handled in the face of the pandemic.
I will say it's unusual for the minister to appear so many times before the committee, so I would like it on record that the minister will be appearing a number of times. He appeared before the committee in the summer. I want to be sure that we give our full attention to the appropriate witnesses and studies and that everyone realizes we need to hear what the witnesses have to say in order to make progress on immigration issues.
I, too, support the motion.
