Thank you for the answer.
We know that Bill C-425 is an attempt to fast-track access to citizenship for those few people who have permanent resident status and who serve the Canadian armed forces. We learned last day that's 15 people per year in fact. At the same time, we are also quite aware that the backlogs to access citizenship are increasing. We learned a few weeks ago that there's been a 73% drop in the number of permanent residents receiving Canadian citizenship, and you yourself, Minister, acknowledge that this is happening largely because there are fewer people working for you to process those very applications.
