Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We do have a backlog in criminal records. Everybody who is either convicted of a criminal offence or charged with a dual procedure or an indictable offence is required to be fingerprinted. In most cases those fingerprints are submitted manually. We are currently working on a technology that will allow us to do that electronically and speed up the process. We're not there yet. We do have a backlog, and in some cases we have to refer to manual searches of documentation.
