Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you to the minister and the officials here.
Minister, on the recent announcement about the Indo-Pacific region, if we look at the region served by the Chandigarh and Islamabad offices in the Indo-Pacific region, it provides a major source of newcomers to Canada. It's also my understanding that the government is investing nearly $75 million in this region to meet those ambitious targets that you want to achieve.
Could you please tell me what exactly it means for the people who are represented by the region served by Islamabad and Chandigarh when these offices were earlier opened for visa processing and were closed in the past year?
