The short answer to that question is that we don't have any flexibility because the legislation was designed the way it is. The tribunal is there to interpret the legislation and nothing else. However, you're probably aware of the fact that the act does call for a review of the legislation five years after its coming into force, which means that this review should take place in 2012. It will be up to the President of the Treasury Board to launch that process. In that context, if the committee members or any other party feels that changes should be made to the legislation, that would be the appropriate venue to raise the respective issues.
On May 28th, 2012. See this statement in context.
