Mr. Gilbert, you raised the issue of movements within this immense area. This still leaves me a bit confused. We talked about the issue of the large area and the number of countries covered.
In the past, I've often raised the issue of centralizing file processing in Canada. I was told that we had to be close to people, have offices, be able to take advantage of being located near people. However, here we have a case were proximity is entirely relative.
Wouldn't it be better to take that logic to its conclusion? Rather than have a single office that handles an enormous area such as this one where there is no real proximity, we could have a number of offices that would actually be near people and would handle all the issues that must be addressed in the field. We would also repatriate everything we could to Canada.
