Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would like to thank the four witnesses for their balanced approach to health and emotion, especially when it comes to family reunification. Initially, I wasn't sure what direction our discussion with four lawyers would take. In the end, I enjoyed the testimony.
My first question is for all the participants, but I will start with Mr. Waldman.
You mentioned the spousal reunification program. As I'm sure you know, last week we made some changes to the directives, giving the decision-making officers consideration of dual intent for spousal sponsorship applications.
Do you interpret this as a step in the right direction? What more can we do?
That's for Mr. Waldman and then for Mr. Sharma.
