Thank you to both chairs and thank you to all the witnesses for coming.
Mr. MacDonald, you mentioned that 80 people were taken away from their regular duties and have gone to Montreal. What effect did this have on the regular immigration files? As you know, we get the most calls in our offices looking for spousal sponsorship, family reunion sponsorship, and many other matters. I have one and a half full-time person equivalents working on these delays.
What was the delay before and what is the delay now, after taking these 80 people from their regular jobs?
