Citizenship and Immigration committee  That is not what I said. I said that with the Government Consolidation Management System and the other systems we now have, we are able to do the same work more efficiently and economically. We have to be mindful of taxpayers.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  As I explained, these players have been coming to Canada for a number of years now. It's fairly complex for the federations. In recent years, we worked very closely with these federations, in order to be better able to manage this movement and to make things easier for the player

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I will answer that question in two parts. First of all, we are currently introducing a process that will allow us to make better use of our resources and make decisions in order to expedite the processing of files. We will also be working with the federal government and our oth

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The only thing I would add is that after we have all that, when someone arrives at a port of entry we'll be able to match the photograph. If we have any doubt about the identity, we'll be able to check the fingerprint to make sure the fingerprint they gave us is the same one they

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes. The only thing I would add is we continue to improve on this. So as we move refugee reform, we'll be adding another module. We are now connecting e-application and e-storage to that. So we will get to a point where all the information on this file is available, no matter w

Citizenship and Immigration committee  With respect to reimbursement, yes this information is public. I am aware that we have a problem. Most pharmacists in Canada deal directly with Medavie.
