I thank Sr. Breege and Mr. Killoran for their testimony. I have three questions. First, regarding the current paper-based immigration system the witnesses have raised as an issue, what do they suggest instead? What would be a preferable immigration system or process and what would they like to see implemented? Second, regarding the lack of communication of vaccine information to migrant communities, is there an example or figure demonstrating the impact this is having on vaccine uptake in those communities? What has been the cause of the increased spread of vaccine disinformation in migrant communities? Third, regarding the issue of communication of rights and entitlements to migrant populations, can examples be given of the real-world impact this is having? What particularly important rights and entitlements need to be but are not being communicated?
