I am sorry, Mr. Chairman, I misunderstood part of Mr. Gargan's original question, I apologize. We are, as a department, moving with the Department of Justice to try and deal with the backlog. Regarding the question of establishing some principles, I can only state that our staff makes every effort to deal with the actual and extended family members when they are involved, but we also have to remember that in some of these instances, the wishes of the natural parents have to be respected, and sometimes our staff is not involved in that.
