Mr. Speaker, I understand that this is a frustrating situation for Canadians in Quebec and across the country. We are responding to it. We know that after two years of restrictions, Canadians want to travel. We have hired more than 600 people and we are in the process of hiring 600 more. Service Canada employees are working days, evenings and weekends. We will try to do our best because Canadians want to receive their documents on time.

Mr. Speaker, as I have mentioned several times in the House, there is an unprecedented number of passport applications. People can go to a passport office 45 days before travelling. I am checking with Service Canada to see how it is responding to this directive on the ground. We will reassure Canadians and ensure that the right information is posted on the website. We will continue to ensure that Canadians can access passport services.
