Thank you for the question.
Officers are trained. We have officers in 86 different points of service around the world. Officers, before they go out to adjudicate these files or look into them, are trained. They're trained in the act and regulations. They're trained in all of the different categories in how to process these files. They are given quite extensive training. As part of their training, they go to missions overseas with their supervisors, with their managers. They actively work on these types of cases.
Part of the act and regulations is that officers make their decisions based upon the information they have, based upon the information they've obtained in the application. So there's the whole question of fettering decisions. All of that is part of the regulations. They make their decisions based on the information that's available, in discussion with managers and other counterparts, wherever they go.
As Andrew mentioned, there are some places where there is a lot of fraud. There are some places where the trafficking in children is a real possibility, and you mentioned that. Our missions try to develop contacts within the local governments, so that they are familiar with senior officials in the local government. They try to understand what their laws are. They try to partner with them to ensure that the proper decisions have been made.
We try to facilitate as much as we can in those ways, but it's a challenge. It's very complex.
