Yes, thank you for that.
Obviously there are some people who, by virtue of having lived in a number of countries, or for whatever reason, may have their applications held up because more investigation of their background has to be done. CBSA, RCMP, and CSIS are involved in providing these clearances. In many cases it's just a question of a backlog that delays these, so I don't want to mislead people. But in answer to an earlier question, in some cases—25% in the temporary foreign workers programs—it was health and security that were the chief reasons for the delay.
In respect to your questions about Abidjan and about people from Lebanon having to go to Damascus to apply, all I can tell you is that there's always the tension about trying to get the public value and at the same time being conscious of the hardships this will impose on some people who want to apply. There is no easy answer to that, and if changes need to be made based on difficulties in a country like Syria, or long journeys that people have to make which make it almost impossible for them to apply, then those changes will be made. But there will never be a situation where it's always going to be easy for everyone, because we have limited resources.
