I'm sure I'll take some flak for the work that I may or may not do at this committee, according to the opposition.
I know the reason you're here this morning—I wasn't quite hearing it from folks across the table—is the Auditor's report. While the opposition may have found a couple of things in there that we need to work on--which we have, and the ministry and you have agreed to--there are some positive components to that report.
One of them that I want to build on is yesterday's announcement regarding the foreign credential recognition program. The Auditor certainly stated that it has increased awareness of foreign credential issues. We've obviously invested a lot of money over the last number of years. I wonder if you or one of the ministry officials could tell us about the different conditions in immigration source countries that might make processing a visa or immigration application more time-consuming here relative to other countries.
