Regarding our site visits in the fall on our study of application backlogs and processing times, I want to let you know that at its last meeting, the Subcommittee on Committee Budgets of the Liaison Committee examined the different travel proposals it recently received. It agreed to and adopted the following motion:
That the Subcommittee invite the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration to prepare a detailed budget not exceeding $175,000, in relation to its travel proposal for its study of Application Backlogs and Processing Times, and submit it to the Subcommittee by June 3, 2022.
The subcommittee also adopted a motion that all travel budget requests presented to the subcommittee include a maximum of seven members participating, along with the necessary staff.
Does the committee agree that the detailed budget for site visits to Abu Dhabi and Dakar of $170,697.47 for seven members of Parliament and required staff be approved? Is everybody in agreement?
