Government Operations committee  I'm sure there is a way to do that. Reducing funding for operational expenditures at IRCC would mean lengthened delays in the processing of immigration applications.

Government Operations committee  It's something that we can certainly do. It depends on the timelines you have in mind. We could certainly consider that.

Government Operations committee  They haven't, not to my knowledge. The last time we released a report on that was more than a year ago, and since then we haven't looked at that situation. Maybe they did, and we just didn't study it to provide an updated report.
