I understand. I was working at the Department of Citizenship and Immigration when the commission was set up. I also read the Auditor General's 1998 reports and learned of the terrible situation there.
Unfortunately, over time, the successive federal governments did not necessarily increase the commission's budget sufficiently to enable you to do your job properly.
I must say, however, that I am happy with your Media Centre as regards procedures brought into force at the IRB. Mr. Fleury mentioned that processing time at the IRB had been reduced to nine months, I believe.
