Thank you.
This question will go to Spousal Sponsorship Advocates.
Family and spousal reunification is one of the top priorities of our government. Our recent announcement of spousal sponsorship increased the level of IRCC staff by 66% to make sure that we continue to address the backlog, which we inherited from the Conservatives, and as a result of the pandemic. We made sure that this increase would lead to 49,000 decisions by the end of this year. We're looking to pilot remote interviews as well.
How do you see these developments as helping to reduce the backlog but also aid in modernizing the system by decreasing system inefficiencies?
