Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. El‑Khoury has just inspired me.
Ms. Schemitsch, you haven't been doing this job for very long—that's what you stated earlier—but you do have some experience with IRCC.
As we know, we're going to be facing more and more international crises, whether it's climate change or major armed conflicts. Did you find this had a direct impact on processing backlogs?
During the Afghan crisis, for example, 15 to 25% of IRCC staff were focused on that one crisis alone. Did you feel that on the ground, as an immigration lawyer?
