Thank you, Chair.

Thanks to all the witnesses.

My first question is for Mr. Gallivan.

How many individuals do you reject for entry into Canada over the course of a year? What are the reasons for the rejections? How does CBSA deal with bad actors who could potentially lie to us about their reasons for trying to get into Canada?

Could you explain that process?
