The department is closely studying the data resulting from the introduction of this public policy. The policy decision was based on data, not only the presence of a backlog. It was made to ensure that people who wanted to enter the country would face acceptable processing times. The department is always looking for ways to speed up decision-making. Therefore, we will carefully study the data resulting from the introduction of this public policy when it comes time to decide on the best way to manage such decision-making processes in the future.
