Madam Fraser, I want to follow up on where I left off on the African-source countries and the length of time it's taking to reach targets. The processing times for spousal applications in those countries—and I know you probably didn't cover it—have gone through the roof. There has been an increase of about 75% to 90%. I would conclude from your remarks that to process family class spouses, especially, the minister needs to allocate and assign more staff to it, and if he hasn't done so, he's failed those particular individuals.
