One of the factors we looked at very seriously was the consequence of doing nothing over the next few years. With the prospect of having the backlog grow from its current size, which is already fairly daunting, up to over 1.5 million potential applications, with wait times associated with them of some 10 years, that was a fairly motivating factor in identifying a solution that would help the government begin to tackle the backlog and make the system more competitive with some of the other countries that are currently having more success in terms of newcomers.
