Thank you.
The opposition has been critical of the step the government has taken to modernize the visa application process, and they've claimed for months that this is going to negatively affect Canada's ability to process and attract visitors such as students and others. Yet a month or two ago, Minister, I saw that you announced that 2012 was a record year for the number of visitor visas and student permits that were issued.
Could you please explain, sir, how the modernization of the application process is actually having a positive impact for Canada?
