We appreciate the work that Mr. Edmonston has done, and the department actually has been working with him, but as he himself indicated, the difficulty is knowing. Did 100% of those people not take steps? Did all of them take steps? It's finding what percentage of that potential pool of individuals actually do have an issue with their citizenship status. We're a bit practical on the operations side; we have to be focused on our work before us. What we are doing is making sure we have the resources and the training to deal with the individuals who are coming forward to us so that we can deal with them on a priority basis, as we've been instructed by our minister.
