Thank you, Chair.
I note in the brief that there's been a 60% increase in appeals and that 70% of those are sponsorship appeals. I also saw some statistics that said 40% of those appeals were overturned. Those appeals were in fact confirmed positively for the appellants, so that means about 28%, or almost a third, of the time we're actually getting it wrong.
You're saying it should take six to 12 months. How long would the process typically take to bring a spouse--a father or a mother of children--to Canada in this sort of situation?
