Mr. Speaker, we know that this is a difficult, stressful and completely unacceptable situation. Canadians have started travelling again and we are seeing an increase in the number of passport applications. We have created new centres to increase processing capacity. We have hired 600 new employees and will be hiring 600 more. We created a new online appointment tool and we will continue to work night and day to get more passports out to Canadians. We recognize that this is a problem and we will fix it.

Mr. Speaker, in January, we began hiring hundreds of new employees for passport services, because we saw this coming. Workers are swamped. There is a huge number of passport applications, and we are increasing the number of employees and resources, and accelerating solutions for passport delivery so that Canadians can travel this summer and see their families. That is exactly what we want to do for Canadians, and that is what we are going to fix.
