Thank you, Minister.
Your French is improving, and I'm very happy to see it.
The Bloc Québécois received your briefing note after making an access to information request. What's strange is that the staff from your own department said that the number of requests to be processed is at its highest peak for this decade, which will impact the forecasts for 2022 and lead to longer processing delays and long wait times that will continue well beyond the full resumption of operations.
That's what the employees from your department said, and that is included in your briefing notes. Last week, during your press conference, you seemed much more optimistic than your own staff.
Are we to believe the minister's optimism or the briefing note from the department's employees?
