Good morning, Minister. I want to thank you for being with us this morning.
I want to ask you one of the most popular questions that I get in my riding of Surry Centre, and that is, how is our government going to address the processing times? I know it's something that you are passionate about addressing, and you've mentioned it each and every time you've come to this committee. In fairness to the previous Conservative government, this is something they pretended to champion, but in these estimates, it states that approximately $39 million will be going toward reducing application processing times.
Can you tell us how you will achieve that goal while having high admission levels for permanent residents? I'm wondering if you could tell the committee how your department will differ from governments in the past in addressing the problems of processing times.
