Chair, the dilemma we've had has not been not being aware of the impact on processing times. It's really been whether we have the resources within the department to maintain the staff, and that has gone up and down. Over the past few years we've received some temporary funding to provide us some short-term help on the volumes in citizenship, which have grown over time to be quite a bit greater than our basic capacity to process them, so processing times have gone up.
Yes, it's quite true, over the past year we had some additional resources. They ended, and we had to wait until during this year to see if we we would have sufficient funds within the department to reallocate them to this function, which we decided we could manage in July.
