The Chair Liberal Sukh Dhaliwal

It's agreed.

On behalf of the committee members, I want to thank the deputy minister, assistant deputy minister and the director for coming here and sharing their time with us.

I also want to thank the interpreters, the support staff and of course the public that has come to this meeting.

With that, I will let the officials leave.

I have two points of order. One I think I've already dealt with.

Mr. Chair, I just want to make sure that the committee would be able to get the information that was requested of the minister . He was not able to provide the data for the committee members. I want to be clear that this is not missed. I asked the minister for the numbers of TRV applications that are in the system for those in Egypt—this is related to Gaza—and to indicate if they are part of the SIM, the special immigration measure, and whether or not they issue a code, and of those, how many TRVs have been issued to them.

The minister said that he actually didn't know. I said that I was going to bring that to officials, so I want to make sure that the officials will provide that data to us as well.
