Minister, I am consistently approached by Canadians of Pakistani origin who are upset at the unacceptable delays in the visa process. In February you said, “We do have about seven positions that should be in place by summer of this year. . . .” You continued, saying, “. . . and it will allow us to have a more streamlined processing capacity on the ground in Islamabad.”

To date, there has been nothing. Was this just another empty promise to the community?
