First, I'll clarify the issue of the immense area covering 18 countries. In China, we have two offices covering virtually the same area as that covered by the Nairobi office. You can't focus solely on the geographic boundaries of that part of Africa.
As far as possible, we try to perform all administrative functions in Canada. Our new system will enable us to do that. We have also started to do that on a larger scale for administrative functions.
As regards knowledge of local characteristics, expertise has developed over the years. Mr. Boekhoven talked about a specific trip, but in fact a number are being done. Expertise has been built up over the years. Two or three times a year, officers from Nairobi go to Uganda. A quantity of information has accumulated over a number of years. That would be harder to do if we covered the entire planet from the Canadian office.
So local knowledge nevertheless helps, especially in view of the fact that the vast majority of applications come from five countries in the region.
