Thanks to our officials for coming back to help us start the study on the modernization of client services.
Yesterday, Minister McCallum announced that spousal reunification applications will now be processed in 12 months or less. This is great news, especially for the riding of Scarborough Centre. It will be received very well.
I would like to thank you and your team for your work on this file. I understand that many of the efficiencies gained to make this reduction in processing time possible came from the work of a tiger team of young front-line civil servants who took a critical look at every aspect of the process and made suggestions for modernization.
Will you be applying this tiger team approach to the other lines of business within your ministry?
