Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I, too, would like to welcome our witnesses to the Committee.
You said earlier that, in your opinion, there was not necessarily any abuse. I am not accusing anyone, but given the context, I have good reason to doubt that. There are fewer and fewer candidates and there will be more and more baby-boomers retiring.
Under the circumstances, is demand not higher than usual? Could some people not be abusing the process?
