Yes. Thank you.
Mr. Green, I listened to your discussion earlier with the Parliamentary Secretary. I am disappointed to hear of such significant changes being suggested with respect to immigration, considering that, when the Conservatives took office, there were only five commissioner positions to fill, and now, there are 50. There is a lot of talk of problems with the processing of applications, but I think we should at least begin by appointing commissioners and possibly even increasing the number of commissioners, in order to resolve the problem. In any case, we are stuck with the current bill.
Earlier, you were also saying that you would agree to the idea of finding a different way of reducing the number of people in the queue, by setting different criteria. I would be interested in hearing your views. You have said that it is undemocratic for choices to be made and priorities set at the discretion of an individual—the Minister, in this case.
If certain priorities were to be discussed by a committee, with a view to developing grids for analyzing applications, would that be a potential solution? You talked about the family class. Family reunification could be a priority. Would you see that as an acceptable process for setting priorities, or do you still believe that all applications must be reviewed based on the date they were received, whatever the purpose? Did you follow me?
