Thank you, but I didn't hear an answer on the backlog. I'm going to make the assumption that when you say January, you're saying January 2022, which was just last month. What about all the backlogs previous to that? What direction has the minister given the department to clean up these backlogs? The excuse I'm hearing for the delayed processing times is COVID. What action or what direction has been given by the minister to the department?
On February 15th, 2022. See this statement in context.
