Our report takes into consideration issues or improvements to processes that were known to us as of the end of March. It includes digitization. It also includes a couple of other improvements that were known to us at the time of the information request, such as clusters and so on. It does not include policy changes. For example, automatic approvals of certain types of disability applications are not taken into account, but improvements in processes such as digitization are included in the report. They are factored into the necessary investments to reduce the backlog or eliminate it in 12 months. These are all in there. However, we did not factor in policy decisions that were not made or were not known to us at the time of drafting this report, which would have significant impacts on reducing the backlog.
We did a sensitivity analysis at the end of the report to show what an improvement in productivity or a decrease in productivity would do to the backlog and how it would behave should, for example, employees become more productive for whatever reason, such as further improvements to the process and so on. It's for illustrative purposes, in case parliamentarians like you want to make further assumptions or ask questions of the department with respect to the impact of productivity improvements.
