Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First, I'd like to thank Minister Fraser, who's appearing before this committee for the fourth or fifth time to discuss immigration.
Minister, I very much appreciate your dedication to our work, particularly on francophone immigration, an issue that's been the subject of extensive discussion in this committee.
I will start with this question. We are all watching with great concern what is happening in Ukraine. Of course, we want to ensure that people who are displaced by the war can quickly get to a safe place here in Canada. That said, there are expectations that the situation in Ukraine will delay processing of applications from French speakers coming from other parts of the world.
Can you speak on that?
