I understand that, but it doesn't strike me as that complex of an exercise. I know you've asked for the data previously, but wouldn't it be possible to get a table twice a year that showed how many applications were outstanding, how many were first, second and third applications, and what the average and median wait times were? That would make it possible to track the situation over time.
We have indeed received data. We even met with department officials three weeks ago, but I feel as though I was taken for a ride.
Mr. Schippers, why isn't this done?
