Thank you, Chair.
There is one area I want you to comment on—quickly, because I know we don't have a lot of time. The fact is that this is the actual issue. The timing for a lot of these applications is, from the applicant's perspective, of the essence. One of the complaints many of us get in our ridings isn't so much about whether somebody has been denied a visa, for example, but that it has taken so long for a conclusion to be driven to that it doesn't matter whether they get an approval or a denial, because the reason they wanted to come here—the purpose of the visit—has lapsed.
What in your experience have other countries been able to do in terms of the process they use when time is a factor? What countries can we look to from that perspective to assist us in working through this process so that we can come up with a conclusive and right decision 99% of the time, and one that is done in an effective and efficient manner?
