Mr. Chair, I will add that when we did the work, we found that most of the missions are meeting their targets. The overall target for Canada as a whole is allocated to each mission, and the missions are meeting their targets. The department is following that very closely. If one is behind, they might move this. The delay is really related to the target that is allocated to a mission compared to the number of applications coming in.
