If you look at the last page of the presentation in the left-hand corner, you will see that there are two business lines or categories where the inventory is substantial, particularly when you compare it to what the public policy objectives—the objectives in the annual plans that are tabled in Parliament—are. This is in the skilled worker category, where you can see we have more than 500,000 people and our annual objective is between 112,000 and 124,000, and in the parents and grandparents categories, where there was an adjustment of an additional 12,000 last year. The objective was actually 18,000, but we have an inventory of about 108,000.
These are the two categories where you have several years' worth of inventory. The reason for that is that we have been receiving for years more applications as new intake than the objectives set by the government and tabled in Parliament are, in terms of annual levels.
It was particularly true for the skilled workers in the period around 2001. We received a lot more applications in 2000 and 2001 than our objective was as a country for the number of immigrants we can take, so the inventory has accumulated.
In the case of the parents and grandparents, every year we have been receiving a lot more applications than the objectives are set at for annual levels. These are the two categories where the inventories are substantial.
