Citizenship and Immigration committee  We don't have that information available here. I'd be happy to identify the cost associated with that event and report it to the clerk.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'll just add very quickly to the minister's point. This business line is increasingly under control, Mr. Chair. There's been a decrease in the inventory to the tune of about 34%, from 58,000 to 38,000 over the past year, and as the minister said, as a result of that, although w

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'll start and then turn it over to my colleagues. To the question of whether there were consultations with the provinces in the development of the levels plan, there was consultation at the officials level as well as with the minister. There were various face-to-face meetings

Citizenship and Immigration committee  With respect to the family class of spouses, partners, and children, we're moving from 48,000 to 60,000. I'll check the numbers here, but I understand there are 191 additional FTEs for the fiscal year that will be retained to deal with the increase in levels, Mr. Chair, and at th

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Chair, we'll be able to provide that information. If I could just take a couple of seconds, what I was trying to say earlier, we will provide that information to the clerk of the committee as appropriate, Mr. Chair, but of the $678 million, to the minister's point, there wi

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Chair, maybe I could just add to my colleague's comments. In terms of the member's question, it's a very welcome point that settlement and integration is frankly the most difficult aspect of this national project, and the needs of this group, and particularly the government
