Thank you for your question, Ms. Doré Lefebvre.
I am pleased to tell you this morning that the backlog of summary convictions has been completely eliminated. It's important to note that our government has, in a sense, modernized the criminal records suspension process and that the user-pay principle has been introduced.
That said, I must remind you of one thing.
I'm going to turn to Mr. Cenaiko, our director, but I just wanted to mention this.
At one point, there was a backlog of over 30,000 applications, which has been reduced by close to 25,000. Therefore, as we speak, what is left to liquidate are the pardon applications for indictable offences, since they are under the former system. There are a little over 5,000 left. Mr. Cenaiko and his team confirmed that they had the financial resources needed to continue to process this backlog and that they truly intend to achieve that goal.
I will turn to Mr. Cenaiko for additional comments.
