Good afternoon, Mr. Minister. Welcome to our committee. Thank you for being here.
As you know, this committee has been studying the pandemic's impact on immigration. We have heard from witnesses and advocacy groups. Each had heart-wrenching stories that moved us all, and I know they moved you, as well.
The spousal sponsorship program has been a source of hardship for many families. I know that this issue has been at the centre of the government's concerns and that there have been incredible efforts to improve this program.
Can you explain the changes that are currently taking place?
