The delays surrounding sponsorships are nothing new. After the events of 2001, greater emphasis was put on security. However, has Citizenship and Immigration Canada taken any steps to address some of your concerns? You mentioned resources. For example, there is a backlog of 4,000 applications at the Nairobi office. Have you seen any progress or at least a determination on the part of the department to assign some resources to these particular offices?
