Thank you for the question.
I am as on top of this as you expect me to be and want me to be and am asking the same questions, because I need the assurance—and the employees who are going without pay need the assurance—that they are going to be compensated for work performed. There's not a day goes by when that question doesn't get asked: are we going to meet the October 31 deadline? I ask that question of the deputy minister. I ask that question of anybody who has anything to do with the Phoenix system. I am told that, based on the number of additional employees we have hired, looking at the number of employees who are getting paid as a result of the additional employees having been hired, and looking at the efficiencies that are being realized in Miramichi as employees become much more familiar with the system, the October 31 deadline is a real deadline.
We are talking about the backlog, and you understand that, because I think there was some concern—
Yes?
