I extend a thank you to all the witnesses who attended this afternoon and thank them for their presentations. I have some questions for Dr. Skuce on deportation orders generally. Dr. Skuce has outlined that people do not have access to medical care from the date a deportation order is issued. If Mr. X or Ms Y is issued a deportation order today, what happens from there on? Is it up to an individual to leave the country at that point? In Dr. Skuce's experience, how long does that process take?
