Thank you, Chair.
I'm going to be very short and simple here.
You know, we hear this complaint from the NDP all the time about not enough time to go through this, but if they spent less time complaining about the fact and more time working, they'd probably get the work done.
I think it's a very straightforward process that we're seeing here in the social security tribunal. We're getting rid of duplication in the administration. We still expect the level of service to be more than adequate and to be professional and proper. We still expect that to happen. I don't think anybody else will say that it's not happening.
As you look at the government and our fiscal situation, and at the ability to make sure we balance our budget books by 2015, we have to look for efficiencies. We have to take advantage of new technologies that have come into play. In this case, if you look at the Internet and if you look at Skype, as Ms. Nash talked about, there are lots of new technologies in play where we no longer have to be face to face, necessarily, to hear an appeal.
Again, I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this. This is just the straight movement forward of making government more efficient yet still providing proper and efficient service, and saving the taxpayer money while doing it. It's very, very simple.
