I don't know, Madam Chair, if we'll ever have an opportunity as a committee to visit one of the processing centres. I haven't done that before. Having dealt with immigration cases for many years, I've often envisaged a processing officer sitting at their desk with a pile of files up to the ceiling. But I don't think it works like that.
I'm curious to know how many applications for immigration and for citizenship you receive in a year. How many officers do you have assessing them? What are the numbers like?
