Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm sorry...?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Not to my knowledge, no, but it could have been. I can only speak for the four years I've been with the board.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Once I find the person and we're satisfied, we will announce it publicly.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  There is another board member who is not hearing cases and has no access to the board.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes. In the case of Mr. Fournier, it is not the same issue at all. It has to do with labour relations, an employer-employee relation issue inside the board. It has been investigated.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Not a final determination.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  It will start as soon as I can find an appropriate person. I am now looking at names. It's important to have the right person. Knowledge and credibility are essential. I'm not necessarily looking for someone who understands all aspects of immigration or refugee policy, but I need someone with experience in tribunal or administrative law.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No, I can do it soon.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We're talking six years of decisions, so it will be a considerable number.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Some commissioners work on contract and help us out with training, especially these days, given our needs.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No, I don't think we got to that point. Actually, it was a matter of public record. Lawyers knew their own files. It would have been practically impossible not to have been aware of the situation.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No. To my knowledge, we did not proactively send a letter to each and every lawyer.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I will defer to Tim.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Well, you're assuming there wouldn't be any appointments.
