My last question concerns the cuts to Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

Program appropriations regarding temporary residents have been reduced by $6 million, even though we know the waiting lists are difficult to manage. We also receive requests about this in our offices. What is the rationale for making cuts to Citizenship and Immigration Canada when we observe in our riding offices that the wait times are becoming longer and longer?
