There are a number of ways to do this. First of all, we have to clear the backlog. That's one of the reasons we're putting in a lot more resources. We're also doing things like coding the files with occupation, province of destination, so the provinces can then access these files. It's called data mining. I guess that's the technical term. They can identify people they need and get them here sooner.
We're looking at doing our processing centrally here, moving files around from busy to less busy missions as well as sheer process changes that will let us do things faster. If we get more people processing each application faster, we get a lot more applications processed a lot faster. We stop the growth in the backlog with their legislative changes. Then eventually we're going to get to the point where we have an efficient system where the wait time for newcomers applying to come here does not put them off and make them go to Australia or somewhere else where they are obviously allowed to get in a lot more quickly.
We're going to be meeting the needs of the economy. We're going to help newcomers succeed. That's going to work for everybody, and eventually we'll get people who really want to come here, people we need who want to be here to fill those jobs, and we'll be able to get them here in a timely manner. That's good.
