With regard to our visioning the future exercise, we have undertaken to examine the program as a whole with the provinces and territories. The idea is to determine how we can make the process work better between the permanent program and the temporary program, in this instance the links between the federal and provincial programs in the context of the permanent program.
Our long-term goal with the visioning exercise is to understand how to best meet structural and cyclical labour market needs through immigration, long-term skills needs, short-term pressures, and the variety of programming that best suits the response to these types of pressures.
On the resource side, I believe the figures you cited relate to corporate resources that were previously dedicated to the program but not actual processing resources in the field.
