On the matter of the processing of applications in the spouses or children category, Bloc Québécois members like to say that, in Canada, we cannot have the same standards from coast to coast because realities are different. That must also be the case in other countries. You say that, in Africa, the process is sometimes longer because some things are processed differently.
Could your department not consider the distinctiveness that exists in Africa to harmonize rules or relax them? I am not saying that the rules should be different, but, in some countries, we could be using a different processing system with respect, for instance, to health and security requirements, than what is used in European countries where these types of standards do not need to be established.
