Thank you all for being here. It was good to see the minister here as well.
This has a lot of meaning for me, especially on the Canadian Forces' side, having served before, because anybody who is a Canadian citizen and commits an act of war against our Canadian Forces personnel, like those gentlemen in uniform back there, should definitely not be tolerated in this country.
I think the standards of citizenship should be high. The bar should demonstrate the integrity of what citizenship is. Our friends in the Liberal Party had most of the last century to put that in place, and they didn't do that. Our friends from the NDP, although very nice people, are somewhat unrealistic about some things regarding citizenship. Certainly when my parents arrived here after the Second World War they took it all very seriously.
What are some of the factors that lead to longer processing times? I'm not sure who would answer this right away. Would that be you, Mr. Orr?
