Thank you, Minister. I'll turn it over to Mr. Orr in a moment.
The $25 million from budget 2016 was dedicated to attacking the inventory and reducing the processing time for the family class. At the time when this was announced, the processing times for family class both within Canada and outside of Canada, in terms of sponsoring a spouse or a partner, was 18 months to 26 months respectively. The previous minister announced in December of 2016 that those processing times will come down to one year. For existing applications, they will be completed by December of 2017, and any new applications will be completed within 12 months.
The results achieved from the $25 million in budget 2016 included two things: a major reduction in the inventory, and significant improvement in processing times associated with spousal applications.
I don't know whether Mr. Orr might like to add anything.
