To add to my friend's comments, I would say that it has happened five or six times in my riding over the past 10 years. When the public servants appeal the unanimous decision of the three commissioners, that can take up to six or even eight months. Forcing claimants to wait six months to get a decision which, in most cases, will be the same as the three commissioners', creates untenable financial difficulties for them. I call that administrative harassment.
Thank you.
