Thank you, Chair.
Thanks to all the witnesses for appearing before the committee.
Before I go to my questions, I would like to congratulate the deputy minister, Mr. Gallivan, for taking this position and this important file. We wish you all the best.
My first question is for IRCC.
Mr. Gallivan, what concrete steps has IRCC taken to understand the unexpected drop in study permit approval rates, and how is that analysis now improving the forecasting and the decision-making process?
