The department is using the mechanisms that we have in order to present cases to the minister and the Governor in Council that fall within the minister's parameters. That mechanism is subsection 5(4) of the Citizenship Act and is the only area of discretion that's available to us. As Clark had indicated, we've also assigned additional resources to process these cases and set up a dedicated unit at the call centre in order to process these cases on an urgent basis.
On May 2nd, 2007. See this statement in context.
