Thank you for that question.
First, the bill will give us a new decision-making model. Instead of going through three steps, we will go through one decision-maker who has all of the data, all of the tools, and indeed exit-entry control starting next year to help validate the residency requirement. They will be able to take the decision and it will go faster.
In addition to that, we are putting more resources, and we have put more resources, into citizenship processing. Already in economic action plan 2013 more resources went in. They are at work today giving us those higher numbers of new citizens in 2014.
I draw the committee members' attention to something we distributed earlier in English and French, which is a simple graph of what would happen if we did nothing, as some urge, to processing times, and then what is happening with the new resources that we put in through the budget last year, which is the red line, and what will happen with the new bill, which is the blue line, that will bring down waiting times even faster to one year by the end of the fiscal year 2015-16. This document is called “Strengthening Canadian Citizenship: Shortening Processing Times”.
