Perhaps I can begin by saying that our department is processing more international students than ever before. From the period of 2006 to 2012, the number of applications increased from 155,000 to almost 228,000. In 2012, over 145,000 study permit applications were processed overseas. That represents a 37% increase over 2008. Certainly, the department made great efforts this summer at the time of the withdrawal of service to make sure that we were giving priority attention to student applications. In fact, we processed more student applications this summer than we did in the year previous, and again met our service times in terms of our turnaround times.
We are also actively engaged. In terms of the international student strategy, the government certainly has been engaged and will continue to be engaged in ensuring that we are attracting the best and brightest to come to Canada. We are actually ensuring as well that we are working with provinces and territories, in terms of the linkages, in terms of how we can encourage students to come to Canada to study in our educational institutions.
So we actually do have many measures under way in terms of encouraging students to come to Canada.
I don't know if you want to add to that, Mr. Orr or Mr. Linklater.
