I refer to the website. The new immigration website is online and it looks wonderful but there is still the question of the old website.

My suggestion is that we would be greeted by a portal combining the old information and a current application, because while the banner runs along all the pages saying that there is a new website, as of July of this year, I suggest that just in case that was missed, perhaps the Department would look at a front portal that would give the old and new websites, or some way of doing that. However, that is neither here nor there.

In terms of the new application and the chatbots to which Senator Murphy referred, how many languages are available on the new website for people to engage with?
