Citizenship and Immigration committee  I will turn to my colleague Mr. Mills on the adoption question, but it's certainly a process that we do care about, and we are looking into these situations and learning from them. Mr. Mills, would you wish to add anything?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you, Madam Chair, for the question. There is always a lot of interest in the parents and grandparents program. That's a very interesting suggestion by the member about weighting and taking into account past applications. I actually don't know the answer to the question, b

Citizenship and Immigration committee  That's another good question. I know that the government was very pleased to be able to offer that possibility of extended members. As for the exact number, I'm going to turn to my colleague, Mr. Mills, who will have the processing figures for you. Mr. Mills.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you very much, Madam Chair, and members of the committee. As officials at IRCC, we have responded, adapted and transformed our work since the beginning of the pandemic in order to serve our clients better while protecting the health and safety of our communities and of our

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I apologize, Madam Chair and Clerk. I had actually pressed the button to French when I spoke French. I will press it again and hope for the best. I'm really sorry.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes. I think it would be helpful to know if there were particular benefits that Ms. Kwan was concerned about. The CERB has obviously been the focal point, and a few other benefits that Minister Qualtrough has—

Agriculture committee  Mr. Chair, that initiative is led by my colleagues at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. We are familiar with the initiative, but as to the specific questions about the budgeting, they would probably be best directed to them. I am aware, though, because we are in close collabora

Agriculture committee  I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch the question.

Agriculture committee  We have put several measures in place. One of my colleagues has already described the situation with respect to public policy on the transfer of permits.

Agriculture committee  I think I recall most of the question. It was regarding what facilitation arrangements we're making to process, and you were also speaking about the educational requirements for the pilot.
