I take the point the member is making. The issue again is policy goals. If you look at it, we have regulations now that outline the various different kinds of categories they're supposed to process. What is being contemplated, ultimately with ministerial instructions and the new bill that you've all agreed not to talk about, is unfortunately a system in which that's being modified. It's the first time in Canadian history we're going to have regulations that say these are the categories you have to process, and yet it will be at the minister's level of discretion to pick and choose which ones they're going to follow.
I'm not certain that it's not appropriate, that some of the things the minister is doing are not good strategies. Again, there is a huge backlog that needs to be addressed. The question is, do we need to entrench in law her ability to actually direct out in the field as opposed to going with what's already in place now?
