Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the representatives from Immigration, as well as the Auditor General, for their presentations prior to our opportunity to ask questions.
To Immigration, I can certainly accept that there are going to be gaps and cracks, with the size of the program that was being instituted and the speed with which it needed to be done. I think that everybody around this table would recognize the incredible work that was done to meet a timeline and a goal that were thrust upon you in a very short time period.
I'd like to go to the report itself. On page 10, some bar graphs show the assessments and training, the services being provided, and the difference between government-assisted and privately sponsored refugees. The three sections are needs assessment, language assessment, and language training. Needs assessment is 91% government versus 75% private, language assessment is 85% to 76%, and the actual language training is 82% to 63%.
My question to the immigration officials is, when you're looking at those numbers, are some of the privately sponsored individuals provided services outside of what you would characterize as taking part in your programming or that of organizations you work with?
