You're missing the point. I don't know what the current delay is, but two years ago it was 12 to 14 months in the Federal Court leave process. I think it was about six months in the leave process and then about a year in the actual merits process. You had a very long delay in the Federal Court. A lot of people were having children in Canada and various other things that gave rise to humanitarian and compassionate claims. If the system is dealing with the merits of the case more quickly instead of getting tied up in a procedural morass in the Federal Court, you are actually going to reduce the circumstances where people are building up humanitarian and compassionate cases.
