Thank you, Madam Chair.

My first question is for the IRB.

Thank you to all of you for the presentations—the CBSA, the IRB and the RCMP—and for the work that you fellows are doing in people's lives.

For the IRB, Mr. Wex mentioned that even though the wait times are the lowest since 2016-17, we are still hearing that there is a long wait when it comes to processing the claims for the asylum seekers. Could Mr. Wex tell us what are some of the things the IRB can do to alleviate the time taken to process these applications?
