Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As I said, I would observe that changing the language in that way would make it consistent with the current practice of the program.
At the moment, it's already possible to calculate this statistic or figure if you are talking about “applications”, as opposed to “funded cases”. The annual report on the program currently publishes the number of applications received and funded, as opposed to cases. An application generally pertains to a case, but you could potentially have multiple applications for the same case. Therefore what is published is the number of discrete applications received.
