Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the minister for coming back to our committee and to his officials as well.
I'm getting increasingly worried about the fact that I think IRCC's system is overwhelmed and unable to cope with the situation. GAC referred Afghan files to IRCC and it appears that they're lost in the system. Afghan lawyers who worked with the Canadian embassy have referred 28 files to IRCC. To date, they have not received a response from IRCC—no invitation and no G numbers. Representatives following this case just contacted IRCC last week around this. They were told that they need to ask GAC to resubmit those referrals. That was from IRCC officials.
Why is IRCC asking GAC to resubmit these applications? Are they lost in the system?
