I'll start and then ask Madame DeschĂȘnes to follow up.
We try to keep track of that fairly carefully. We are concerned when we start to see significant differences between missions. Things happen. The character of the applications does vary a lot from one mission to another. One part of the world may have very significant security review issues, for example, and may need to go for review through CSIS. That may take a fair bit of time before the file comes back to us.
Then, we have our own issues about allocating resources as these circumstances change. We're always in a bit of a lag in responding to them. Other than on a temporary basis, it's never a quick fix to move more staff to a mission overseas. That's always a challenge.
