Thank you. Your clarifications are greatly appreciated.
I have a general question. The minister said that applications for permanent residence in the sponsorship class are now being processed at a higher volume. There are 5,400 applications being processed every month. Hopefully, there will be 50,000 processed by the end of the year.
First, just so I know whether the goal is realistic, can you tell me how many applications have been processed so far?
I also want to know whether it was necessary to reassign staff from other business lines to family reunification or whether new staff were hired to help increase the pace.
