There are not many elements of this part 6 that I like. Probably what's needed is to scrap it altogether--at this point.
I recognize that there are important administrative issues relating to the backlog. Something has to be done about that backlog, because that in itself is an injustice to many people who've been waiting five, six, seven, eight years for their cases to be decided. But I don't think increasing discretion on the part of the bureaucrats or the minster is the way to do it. Certainly spending more money would be, especially in CIC, which is, from what I understand, a department that produces money for the government. Certainly on this issue, spending more money, having more people to process the files, would be a solution.
