Do not track individual record, so an asylum seeker whose request takes a long time to be examined can be counted two years in a row. However we also may have asylum seeker for whom the decision is very quickly taken (less than 12 month) and we do not count the expenses (voluntary resettlement, allowance etc) associated which are in another program. In conclusion, our method based on the average request length seems fair, as it takes into account the variety of situations in a balanced manner.
