Mr. Chair, if I may....
The Auditor General—Karen and her team—looked at the old system that we had in place, which was very linear. I want to highlight the fact that some of the delays in the process are our own doing, but there are sometimes also delays caused by the applicant when they don't return the questionnaire or when they have to correct something and it takes two to three weeks.
Following the review by Adam and his team of different processes in the Five Eyes countries and in Canada, we've changed the whole linear process altogether. To compare the new process with what we have here would be difficult, but the ultimate goal with the new process is going from 330 days down to six months, which would be very acceptable and 50% shorter than what we have right now.
