Citizenship and Immigration committee  Can we have that commitment?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  They're flagged?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  And what's the inventory right now in Damascus?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Can I have a breakdown?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Would you be kind enough, please, to provide this committee with your numbers for Mississauga? The other thing I want to ask you is what steps are you taking to advertise this program within the community? Are you advertising in the Arabic papers? Are you advertising in the Iraq

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Did anybody else among the panellists deal with that?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Can I suggest, Ms. Aucoin, that you take that media release and communicate it to the Arab papers and to the Muslim papers, as well as to the community itself?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you very much for coming to enlighten us and give us some background on what's happening. I have one question. There was a backlog in Damascus. Did you put in extra staff and efforts to clear that backlog in the last 365 days, and if so, how many people?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you. Have you considerably reduced the processing times in Damascus in family class and parental class in the last year, and if so, by what percentage?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  So if I were to say you have shortened your processing time by about 20% in Damascus, would you disagree with me?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  In other words, you cleared the decks in the last couple of months, anticipating that we were going to deal with Iraqi refugees.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Scoffield, I'm going to ask this again. You cleared the decks; you got extra staff in there anticipating that the Iraqi refugees would have to be dealt with. Yes or no?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Will your dealing with these Iraqis increase the intake from Iran or any other cases or countries that the Damascus office covers?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Okay. When a UNHCR case is presented, after somebody applies for UNHCR status and receives a group-of-five sponsorship from Canada, and it is cleared in Mississauga and is sitting at the post in Damascus, what is the length of time before that individual is to be seen?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  What is the United States doing better than us that they can clear the cases within a month?
