Thank you, Mr. Chair. It is my pleasure to be on the committee. It's the first time I've ever been on the citizenship and immigration committee.
I have a couple of questions and I'd like to refer to your presentation, if I could.
One part is just because I don't understand or don't know information. You say “by only issuing 'invitations to apply' to the number of applicants that we can process”, so based on that, so we don't end up with the huge backlog that we have nowadays, the new system wouldn't do that. One line says, “inventories that accumulated in the past”, which I understand, and also “the associated legal risk”.
What is the legal risk? I don't understand what the legal risk is. I'm assuming we're not legally responsible for those who have applied and happen to be on a waiting list. Can you tell me what that is?
