All right, but I think that, as Canadians, we are in a void. When we compare ourselves, most of the time, we console ourselves. Anyway, that's a criticism I'm making in passing.
I only have five minutes and that's too little.
Ms. MacDonald, according to the Auditor General's report, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada continues to be the department that is lagging a little behind and whose service seems the least efficient and most frustrating for people. We are talking about a 30-minute wait time. It may seem like a long time, but if someone has to take their car to get to a service centre, if there is one in their area, it takes more than 30 minutes, of course.
How did we get here? Before you answer me, I will draw a parallel with paragraph 1.37 of the auditor's report. It appears that the accumulation of delays is due to the budget cuts made by the previous government in 2012. Is this really the case? Explain to me how delays are accumulating at such an alarming rate.
