Thank you, Chair.
Just because there aren't changes in the estimates or the supplementary estimates that doesn't mean that additional resources aren't being spent. We have been able to fund increased resources for the citizenship program internally this year, and we will use the full amount of increased resources made available to us next year to continue that ramp-up in our processing capacity.
There is a backlog that we wish was not there and a waiting time that we wish was not there partly because of unprecedented demand for citizenship, partly because of the need to review in a serious way residency questions relating to thousands of people. As you know, there are thousands of such investigations under way.
