Mr. Speaker, we take the privacy and security of all applicants very seriously and ensure that we meet high standards when it comes to transparency and privacy. Protection of personal information is a primary consideration when choosing any service provider such as a visa application centre. Our officials closely monitor that these processes are followed and that Canada's stringent privacy standards are being met. We will always ensure that the privacy of all applicants remains protected.
