Citizenship and Immigration committee  For us, it's a question of receiving the right information and being able to have the right interview. Technology's an enabler, and certainly we look at how we can make use of it.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I don't know that I would categorize it as a working group, but certainly IRCC has reached out to the respective departments, which each have a piece of work, to make sure that we can deliver on this. They have been engaging us in terms of process, capacity, and ability to deliver in support of their effort.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  This time it's probably a better question for IRCC. We work in support of their mandate and their effort on the resettlement piece. As they receive that clarification or they are able to provide us that clarity, then we'll be responsive to what they require to enable the delivery of it.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  It's a question of when we start, when key decisions are taken in regard to beginning their component—the front-end piece—to determine and identify refugees for potential resettlement. That will kick in the same process we utilized in Syria, in which interviews begin and selection and screening begin, ultimately leading to a risk determination that allows them then to make the final determination that this particular individual and perhaps their family members have been selected for travel to Canada.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm not the one who is in a position to be able to confirm that for you. We are positioning ourselves to be extremely responsive in recognizing that the deadline, that 120 days, has been stated as a commitment.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Same here. We're positioned for that.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Are you talking about refugees to be resettled? No.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'll try to hit on a few points in relation to your question. First and foremost, we work extensively and closely with all our domestic partners. That's where it begins for us. Once IRCC has selected some individuals as potential refugees to Canada and we receive those referrals, we then engage with all our law enforcement and security partners to make sure we do our due diligence domestically.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. As this committee is aware, the Canada Border Services Agency has a dual mandate of facilitating movement across our borders while ensuring and protecting the safety and security of Canadians. Together with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, the CBSA administers the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, which governs both the admissibility of people into Canada and the identification, detention, and removal of those deemed to be inadmissible under the act.
