With great respect, Madam Chair—and I know the question is filled only with good intentions—we have had conversations with Pakistan, the UAE, Qatar, the United States, the UNHCR, the International Organization for Migration, and private sector partners, all of whom have the ability to offer biometrics outside of the country. If people can get outside of the country, Canada can perform the biometrics outside of the country.
The challenge is not for the humanitarian cases or for special immigration measures applicants who are already outside of Afghanistan. When it comes to biometrics, the challenge is for people who are inside Afghanistan. As you can appreciate, the Taliban—a listed terror organization in Canadian law—has seized control of Afghanistan, and they are not interested in facilitating Canadian processing staff to do their job inside Afghanistan—
