Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My next questions, once again, are about human and financial resources. As we noted a few months ago, IRCC is one of the departments that have employed the most consultants. It would be interesting to know what happened between 2017 and 2019 to quadruple the amount of money spent to hire consultants from $6 million to $24 million.
More particularly, what were the results? The scope of the audit covers the years in which spending on consultants rose to $25 million a year. What was the purpose of that?
Lastly, will you continue employing as many consultants, or do you think that the work has been done, that you have the necessary evaluations and everything you need to implement Canada's immigration levels plan and that you no longer need consultants?
