Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:

If the person is in the asylum application system for nine months or more, he or she gets the right to work. This is a relatively recent development. Approximately 2,300 applications for the right to work have been made with 1,600 having been approved. We have had 632 employment declaration forms returned.
