My next question is about the parents and grandparents category of the stream of immigration.
During our committee's study of family reunification, we heard about frustrations with the intake process and the efforts of the department to clear the application backlog. We also heard about the value of parents and grandparents in the success of the family unit, its integration into Canada, and its contribution to our economy. Before we completed our report, the IRCC announced a lottery system of intake for 2017 applications to the program.
Can you report on how the first year under this new system has gone? Has it been successful? Have there been any challenges? Do you anticipate any changes in the next year, or will you continue with the lottery system?
