I do not want to be like a school teacher monitoring his students. A year ago, we learned from official sources that there would be a backlog. Moreover, this had been rumoured for at least two years if not more. Given your position, you must have heard about this well before last January 23. I have trouble understanding how the situation could have been unexpected. I presume that you cannot answer this question because we are facing a backlog right now.
That being said, in another vein, I read in the documents that there are some attempts to make the task easier. We understand that you will take the needed measures.
We also heard that you are in touch with Alberta and British Columbia with regard to birth data. You receive reports on birth statistics. Am I wrong about this? What is going on?
