Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, the backlog is not just a matter of money; it is a matter of process.
I recall that at the time we centralized the data. There was an issue relating to the regional offices, and so on. First, I would like to be more specific.
You know that people who want to get a visa or who make an application to immigrate to Canada from Lebanon have to travel to Damascus. Given the political situation in Syria, are you prepared to transfer the process from Damascus to Beirut, for example? Is this the kind of thing you would be prepared to do?
