Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to thank the minister for making himself available, which frankly is to his credit. He has appeared before the committee on a number of occasions, and that deserves to be noted.
The minister and I have been working together for nearly four weeks, particularly on the issue of Ukrainian refugees and the air bridge. For a change, I'm going to talk to him about another issue that is equally important and causing a bit of difficulty for IRCC.
The day before yesterday, Mr. Gideon Christian spoke about racism at IRCC during his testimony to the committee. He told us that we had to face up to it, even if it was disturbing. Of course, all members of the committee are uncomfortable when it comes to racism, but we can name the problem.
My question is quite simple and I would like a yes or no answer.
Minister, is there racism at IRCC?
