The backlog is any application that is outside of the service standards; however, what I can confirm is that within processing since October 3, we are well over 98% with regard to passports that are processed in that time.
If there is a delay, it's usually because there's information missing from the passport application. Every application has been touched in the system and has been assigned to an officer, and they're working with Canadians.
Not every application results in a passport, because there may be other extenuating circumstances, such as integrity issues. We obviously have, unfortunately, people who apply fraudulently for passports, so it is the case that not every application will result in a passport.
Those that remain in the system are usually the most complicated cases. Often there are custody issues, and I'm sure you can appreciate that we want to ensure that we are doing everything we can as a government, as Service Canada, to make sure that we provide integrity in the service.
