There have been 1,773 issued, for the "family class", in Quebec, compared to 601 the previous year. So that's an increase of nearly 300% during the same period.
As well, on the question of the special measures, some people started to arrive in May. On October 29, the files were completed for 167 people who had their visas, and 52 have become permanent residents. In addition, in November, another 187 visas were issued. Because it takes two or three months before it gets to us. We expect that it will continue to progress.
I also want to point out that there are 23 decision-makers, the people who make decisions, in Port-au-Prince, in Santo Domingo and at the Ottawa processing office, as compared to six decision-makers before the earthquake.
