I don't think so.
What I think is that Mr. Kenney closed down all the federal programs by doing this. Actually, he left the backlog and put on a cap of 1,000, and then 500. He processed some of them from the first ministerial instructions, and then again, in the second and the third, it is just a show, I'm sorry to say. I have 15 speeches from Mr. Kenney in different immigrant communities. He's walking around and talking about reducing the backlog and reducing the processing time. But it is not the case. It is not what we see on the ground.
We have a backlog of 24,000 in the federal investor program. This is what he officially says. The new program required an investment of only $800,000. They announced it in November 2010. They started receiving the applications in January or late December, because of the forms. I filed some of them in January and February, and they were never processed. They had 3,000 visas a year and they said 2,000 were allocated to the previous program. This was with a $400,000 investment, with 1,000 for the new program. My files were never processed until now, which is at the end of the year. How could they use that 1,000? That means it's closed down—it is finished.
