Thank you very much.

Thanks for coming today to appear before the committee.

I have a report here from the Auditor General showing that general assistance was about 34,000 cases, and citizenship applications were 24,577. Usually we look at the majority of the cases versus the ones that cause the most headaches. If we were to address the ones that are causing us...to give more attention to consular services, and more resources, if that can be the correct term, how do you suggest we handle that to make sure, as I said, that the cases that give us the most headaches, which are very minimal in number, are addressed properly without having bad consequences?
