Thank you very much, Chair.
Welcome. It's interesting that we're talking about refugee policy. Right about this time 50 years ago, Canada dramatically altered its refugee policies to deal with 38,000 Hungarians, and I imagine at this point in time it was in full flow with Minister Pickersgill, over in Europe, doing something that Canada had never done before in terms of resettlement.
I will take a look at some of the issues here. You mentioned with the backlog--and we always are in a backlog in this department--that you have 15,000 people in line for the PSR program. You also mentioned that any more resources there would take away from the normal running of the program. It seems to me, unless we have some people to fill the vacancies for the refugee board, our backlog is going to get worse and the waiting time is going to get longer.
Would you like to comment on that?
