I think I will only comment on the portion about the injustice, because as a regulator we are involved in the protection of the consumer. On that point, we have publicly taken a position on Bill C-50, only in the protection of the consumer, in terms of the need to reduce the backlog. Simply, people are putting their lives on hold for nine years, and the anguish and the trouble are simply not in the interests of the consumer. Those people being stuck in the backlog in the processing area now, because of those people and 900,000, is not in the interests of the consumer.
So as a regulator, we hope the minister and this committee will find ways to reduce that backlog so we can get back to normal processing and everybody is serviced properly.
