Human Resources committee  Mr. Dumas, would you have that, by any chance?

Human Resources committee  Thank you for that. I think this is better. For CERB, as the member indicated, we do not consider such a program to be social assistance for the purposes of [Technical difficulty—Editor] sponsorship and also for our other programs. We can certainly look for means to clarify that

Human Resources committee  What I have is just for CERB, but we can look into other benefits as well. The same would apply, I believe, in other categories, but we will get back to you on that and confirm.

Human Resources committee  We are concerned about the situation for many of the reasons that the member already indicated. We're working to try to find a means to address this.

Human Resources committee  I don't have a specific timeline. I'm hoping it will be very soon.

Human Resources committee  Thank you for that question. As you know, the safe third country agreement continues to apply at ports of entry, and we've seen a number of individuals come through who have met exemptions to the safe third country agreement. Others have been turned back, as is the agreement wi

Human Resources committee  That's in certain categories. I wish we could turn everything around in one week, but no, what the minister mentioned was just for certain categories.

Human Resources committee  For those with expired work permits, we continue to emphasize—and we have reached out to all our clients—that there is an implied status if you have reapplied for that work permit, and that's been key. I wonder if Mr. Dumas might be able to add to that question.

Human Resources committee  We have a pretty expedited process when it comes to seasonal agricultural workers, particularly in Mexico, where a number of them come from. We quickly put in place a number of workarounds to deal with this situation. In both Jamaica and Guatemala, we've looked at foil-less visas

Human Resources committee  We continue to wait for additional applications to come in. This would be the normal process in terms of when those applications would come in. We continue to look at our capacity to do this and to be able to move those applications forward as quickly as we can. I'm quite pleased

Human Resources committee  I can start and then I'll turn it over to Mr. Massé. No, we did not have advance warning of what the Government of New Brunswick intended to do in this situation.

Human Resources committee  We have a pretty robust federal-provincial table on the immigration side, but no, we were not consulted in advance of this.

Human Resources committee  I'd be happy to get back to you on that. We do have some work in this area and I'm happy to share it. Mr. Massé, I think, may have even more.

Human Resources committee  We will be conducting an economic impact analysis on the sector from the premier's decision. I'll turn it over to Mr. Massé.

Human Resources committee  We have reached out to a number of professional associations. This is the responsibility of the provinces, and the provinces work with the professional associations to see if we can make lists of foreign-trained medical professionals available. I'm going to turn it over to my co
