Agriculture committee  You mean under the agri-pilot. We may have difficulties with landings because of the travel bans, but there are actually already people here in Canada who would be able to apply and proceed.

Agriculture committee  Thank you for the question. Perhaps I'll just speak a little about the educational aspects.

Agriculture committee  Mr. Chair, if it pleases the member, my colleague from the ESDC would have been able to add more details to the previous question. We could add to that in a moment.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Language training, Madam Chair, is certainly important. The partnerships we've formed with the community economic development organizations—with the rural and northern pilot in particular—are working toward that end. Madam Chair, I'll turn to my colleague, Matt de Vlieger, to pr

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. There are a range of policy considerations that come from some of our learning so far. For example, from the rural and northern pilot and the Atlantic immigration pilot, we formed different partnerships to support that retention. One of the lessons that w

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Just to confirm, are those CSs and G5s, Madam Chair?
