Thank you, Chair, and thank you, High Commissioner, for appearing before the committee.
For the sake of the folks who are watching online, Mr. Lloyd just made a point that there's a student permit approved every 45 seconds. There's no way you can approve a visitor visa or a student permit in 45 seconds. It takes months and possibly years, as my constituents know, to get a student permit approved. There's a security check, an eligibility check and finances, amongst other things, that are checked. No, it does not take 45 seconds to approve a student permit.
Moving on to the actual meeting today, High Commissioner, when you were the minister of public safety, were you ever briefed on Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi?
