I'm here to ensure that the same thing doesn't happen year after year, as this government has been doing. It is allowing backlogs and not allowing the claims of immigrants to enter in a timely manner. That's what we're here for. It is to fight for the new immigrants who are coming into this country. The only way to do that is to have enough staff to meet the workload, because that workload is there every day. That is not happening, and that's what we're here for.
