Yes, there is unfortunately a backlog. We have decided to opt for the definition of less than one year, in terms of files being backlogged, because I think it was inaccurate and possibly misleading to say they're not assigned, and if they're assigned, that doesn't mean they're going to move, and so on. So we've taken a chronological criterion. In terms of the Privacy Act, of the 633 complaints as of last week, 270 are less than a year old, and the majority—363 complaints—are over a year old.
We do have in place a strategy by which, at the end of this fiscal year, there should be only 320 complaints, and by 2010 the backlog should be eliminated in both acts. So we're on target for reduction.
