These are difficult and quite complex questions of policy design. When the source country program was designed, it was designed very much to solve the sorts of problems that have been before the committee over the last few weeks. The source country program had a listed number of countries in the regulations so that each time one wished to either remove or add a country to the list, it was controversial, cumbersome, and led to a whole lot of discussion.
Countries didn't like to be on the list because it implied that they were failed states, so it caused those sorts of diplomatic issues. Adding a country to a list, therefore, involved inter-departmental consultations and consultations with the international community and so forth. Then you had situations where it became operationally extremely difficult to work in a given country that was a source country, yet we still got applications flowing in and so forth which, in practical terms, were very difficult to manage.
For those reasons it was felt that the program was not efficient and not necessarily meeting the greatest needs, so it was in effect replaced with the public policy provision, which has a great deal of flexibility and scope. Whether that's the best mechanism or whether there is something in between the two, which could have the sort of profile of the source country program, yet retain the flexibility of the public policy instruments, is certainly open to the imagination. I would say that the public policy provisions, on their surface and as they have been used, are able to respond to relatively small and medium-sized situations in a wide variety of countries. Each of them is operationally complicated to establish. From a resource point of view, you probably end up, sadly, helping fewer people than you would have under our other programs. There are always those very challenging and sometimes disconcerting trade-offs that you have to make in policy design.
Those would be my general comments, but certainly it would be a fruitful topic for analysis. The challenge continues to be getting the design right. I think the design we have is pretty good, but it could possibly be improved.
