That was before my time, so I will ask Richard if he has more information than I do.
I know we have a graphic. My colleague has a few copies, so maybe he can give the clerk a copy. We'll provide it later in both languages with an explanation.
It looks at time and registration timelines from the date of receipt to the decision, and it is very clear to somebody who didn't come into the world of pesticides until 2005 that there really were problems in the 1990s. There is one product that took over 20 years from receipt of the submission to the registration decision. I believe the year break will be at sort of 2001 or 2002. There were still a number that were actually above 10 years--10, 11, 12--and a few up around 14 years.
With the management of submission policy and receipt of new resources in late 2002, the PMRA really did put attention to addressing the backlog. Again, part of the reason for the creation of the agency and the focus was to address that. This shows that the backlog was addressed by 2000.
