Citizenship and Immigration committee  Exactly. The bar for us is pretty high in terms of the removal and the cause around the good behaviour, and then there is also the provision in the legislation for this judicial inquiry. Those are really our two levers.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I understand your question. Mr. Chair, I'll go back to my earlier comments about the vacancies on our website. This is something we work on constantly with our colleagues at the IRB to determine where their needs are. There is no set number of positions or positions listed across the country.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  To be honest, from where I sit, we really take our direction from the IRB in terms of what their needs are and what they are resourced to fill. We would really be totally dependent on them giving us advice in terms of what they need and how quickly we can help them fill those positions.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I wouldn't really be able to divulge that, because it would be considered advice to the minister from the selection committee.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Again, unfortunately I wouldn't be able to give that detail of information because it would be considered advice to ministers.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I would say that every single incumbent would have to reapply for their position and would have to go through the whole process. As I mentioned, for the organization, the IRB in this case, my experience to date has been that the chair sits on the selection committee with us, and we would expect them to give their perspectives and their feedback.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I think that's fair. I think the only point I would add is that it's really up to the organization who they want to have sit in on the selection committee. To date, our experience has been that it's the chair, but we really work with the Prime Minister's Office, the minister's office, often the portfolio lead department, and the organization to determine who will sit on the selection committee.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Not, in my understanding, with the IRB, but certainly with other organizations we do—

Citizenship and Immigration committee  To be very frank with the committee, when we started the new process, we had a lot of work to do. We had to set up a whole new system across the government. We're two years in and I like to think that we've hit our stride. We have a good relationship with departments. Organizations like the IRB, which had a system in place before the system that we now have, are actually some of our best partners.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Advice is provided to the minister in terms of the various people who the committee deems qualified for the opportunities. If the minister chooses to go off of that letter and make a recommendation that is not provided to the committee, the minister has to provide a justification to the Prime Minister as to why they would do that.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Chair, as I explained to colleagues, we work with the IRB to determine their needs. We're in a constant process of doing that. As Mr. Aterman just mentioned, we just made some appointments, 12 last week. We're constantly working to try to make appointments.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I would certainly hope not.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We do everything—

Citizenship and Immigration committee  One of the things I would point to specifically for the IRB is that we're looking at where their acute needs are and we're going through applicants with a view to trying to triage and focus on certain needs. For example, bilingual candidates—

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Absolutely.
