The vast majority of authorizations to carry are for reasons of employment, and that's remaining with CFOs. We've already noted that the number of authorizations to carry for personal protection are quite low. Obviously I can't really speak to timelines, but I believe that these are treated with all due haste. Whether they are treated provincially by CFOs or would be treated centrally by the commissioner, they would be treated with all due haste.
