Citizenship and Immigration committee  Madam Chair, thank you for the clarification around the Chinook tool and the usage. We've noted that and we'll take that down.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you for the question, Madam Chair. I'll turn to Ms. Gill to respond directly to that.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you for the question, Madam Chair. I'm not certain we have all of that data. I would need to confirm that with respect to the Federal Court. That may more properly be with the Department of Justice, so I'd have to confirm what we have, Madam Chair.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you for the question. The department is certainly aware of the risk of discrimination or partiality inherent in artificial intelligence systems. We are comfortable following the guidelines from the Treasury Board Secretariat. I'm sorry, but I am having technical difficulties.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  One of the aspects that I would like—

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. It's an excellent question, and I'll turn to Ms. Gill in a moment for some of those specific details. One piece that's really important to note is that we engaged in the Nigerian express because we could see that it was an important market and this country had different conditions than other partners in the student direct stream, so a special dedicated effort was undertaken there.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  That is something that we, too, have heard from some of our stakeholders. I would note that part of the challenge arises when students have not sought the work permit at the same time as the study permit, and that's why they sometimes have challenges as they go forward. We are thinking about issues facing international students, as the minister outlined, to support the delivery of his mandate commitment on the pathway to permanent residency and some of the ways that we can facilitate important markets.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you, Madam Chair, for that question. Indeed, the student direct stream has been really beneficial in providing students with faster processing because they're providing more detailed information. It is something that we're actively looking at—at the expansion—and considering next steps on that.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Madam Chair, thank you very much for the question. The department has undertaken a number of efforts. I will turn to Ms. Gill to outline the specifics in Africa, because we do have quite a bit under way. I would also note that the nature of the problem, and the challenge, has really changed as well.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  As I think the minister outlined, there are special immigration measures being taken in the dynamic environment that we find ourselves in. He also outlined the commitment that he is advancing to bring 40,000 Afghans safely to Canada.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We'll take the feedback that we've been given, note that and relay that to the minister. Thank you.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Madam Chair, thank you very much for the question. We may need a little bit more precision about the reports. We're certainly pleased to make information available about our anti-racism task force and our efforts under way. With respect to the question about algorithms, I'm pleased to note that IRCC was one of the first departments, along with Treasury Board Secretariat, to develop a policy for advanced analytics.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Madam Chair, with respect to that question.... I'm sorry. Is the member still speaking? My screen is corrupted.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm sorry, Madam Chair. I thought I was responding to the other question that had been raised. With respect to the case that has just been raised about the 60 students, this is something I will look into with my colleagues, unless Mr. Mills has more information about that. Certainly, we will be looking into that.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you, Madam Chair, for the question. To my knowledge, no, but one thing I would note is that when we set up processes for complaints, often complaints do increase, and that starts to form a baseline for us to take action.
