It's a great idea.
I know that in principle it might be harder to implement than business people like me could appreciate. I think it exists within government already that you can get a passport in four weeks or you can get it in two weeks. If you want it in two days or four days, you'll pay more for it. I think we are now at the point where the government should be looking at this.
It's very difficult to sit down with a client who has great potential under this program and say to them, “We'll get back to you in four years”. Australia, New Zealand, even the U.K. or the U.S. will pick them up. Again, we've obviously done well, though. I'm not going to deny the great ten years that this program has generated. But we've been a victim of our success now, and we need to reposition.
In terms of recommendations, very briefly I would say reposition the program. It has to increase. It's time--it's eleven years old.
With regard to SWAT teams, get more commitment from the client up front. Get a deposit. That will slow things down. A deposit is a partial payment on what they will later need to provide to fulfill the investment, but slow the process down by getting more commitment up front.
Increase the targets. I think the report suggests that's a good idea. I still don't understand why this program has FD targets as opposed to visa targets. Every other category I've ever seen has targets in terms of visas. This program has targets in terms of final dispositions. I don't understand that. We think it's time to go to 3,000 visas.
Maybe I'll hand it over to you, Marc, if I am permitted.
