As I say, I'm trying to look forward more than backwards, but it is certainly a fact that the budgets of the department, particularly in family class, were cut, and that this is one of the reasons that the processing times have gone as high as they have.
But I think my job is to look more forwards and less backwards. We start from where we are. For whatever reason, we have the hand that we were dealt, and we have to play that hand to the best of our ability. That is why I'm hoping to have this two- or three-part process through the external committee, through my department, and possibly through this committee, to work as hard as we can to bring those processing times down as quickly as possible.
Partly, it will involve more money. We have committed more money in our platform, but in large measure it should be up to us as a department to improve the efficiency of our processes to achieve those ends.
