It is important to pick up on what you're saying about the international reputation, the fairness in the use of humanitarian and compassionate grounds, and the notion that this process is going to streamline.
First, with respect to the suggestion that folks in the economic class who don't get in will use the H and C process, the Canadian Council for Refugees has pointed out that they'd be pretty surprised if people actually did that. It's an expensive and uncertain process, so you have to wonder about why it's being played that way.
Second, with respect to the technical briefing stating that the intent is streamlining and greater responsiveness, the same technicians acknowledged that we now have more than one system. We have more than two systems. We actually have a number of systems that are going to be operating simultaneously. We have the point system. We have the new Canadian-experience class system. We have the ever-increasing temporary foreign worker process. If this passes, we would have the ministerial instructions process system. And we would have the humanitarian and compassionate system. All of this would be funded with a $22 million envelope for the first two years, scheduled to climb to $37 million by the third year. Interestingly, Carol Goar points out that one visa officer overseas costs between $900,000 and $1 million. Just play out those numbers and ask yourself if you see any streamlining in that formula.
