This is why I wish he were appearing before you. He is probably the only one who can answer that question.
My sense is that ministers of public safety don't like making decisions on questions of admissibility for those who are accused of security-related actions because they just don't like making these decisions. They are inherently awkward for them to make. This is why when I appeared before you last month one of the things I proposed, in your consideration of the general immigration security regime, was contemplating a way of making these decisions that would be more efficient. Part of that would be to take the decisions out of the hands of the minister. I think the minister would probably welcome that, but that's not really within the framework of what we're talking about today.
The short answer to your question is that it lies solely in the purview of the minister to make those decisions as quickly or as slowly as he wishes.
