I'm very keen on having a more robust citizenship program. I've asked our officials to come to me with recommendations for a more robust citizenship program, in terms of educational materials, a test, and symbolic elements. I think we have adequate resources.
Obviously there is a backlog in proofs of citizenship, and that does concern me. Since coming to office we have increased the overall budget for CIC quite considerably. In 2004-05 it was in the range of $900 million, and it is now $3.6 billion. It's difficult in these economic times for me to go to the Minister of Finance and say that we need endless increases. We have to manage our resources better internally.
