Hi, and thanks very much.
I'm going to start with the Canadian Council for Refugees.
You noted the permanent residence and some of the changes you're advocating for, and that this government has spoken for. I worked in Citizenship and Immigration for 11 years. I recognized the need for some of the policies that I saw.
Do you think there is a way of having a policy that would fit, so that it's not held over a woman that she'd have to be deported or anything like that? I worked with a number of cases where men came to Canada to get here, and then left their wives immediately. That was from the out-of-country sponsorship, because there are two types, of course.
Is there a program or a way that we can check both boxes, to make sure there's not fraudulent immigration, as well as making sure we're being cautious and our female victims are being protected?
