Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to continue my questions on the allocation of resources in different missions throughout the world that have to impose a de facto quota on a geographic basis and even, indirectly, on an ethnic basis, since it is grouped by embassy.
I also want to talk about the problems experienced by some embassies where there are management problems. In Nairobi, for example, often files are lost; things have to be sent again, etc.
I have often wondered why the embassies around the world are processing these applications instead of doing it directly here in Canada. For example, under the Quebec program, applications are dealt with on Quebec soil by Quebec public servants over whom we exercise better control.
Have you already looked at the efficiency of this management model which is scattered around the world, with all kinds of individuals of different cultures and different ways of operating, in comparison to what it might be like if it were managed from Canada?
