As the minister mentioned, we have been given some funding to be able to really address the processing backlog we have. I can assure you that this is very much a priority for the department and we're working really hard to achieve progress in all of the business lines.
What I can tell you is that in April 2021 the department introduced this ambitious plan for processing applications from caregivers. Applications for nearly 6,000 persons, including both caregivers and their family members, were finalized by the end of 2021. We're going to continue to do some of that ongoing work.
