I will answer the member's first question. Our workload in Montreal is 16 cases a month. That is the number of cases we must hear each month. There may be postponements or sometimes some cases are more complicated. Then it becomes difficult to give an exact figure, but, generally speaking, the workload is 16 cases. However, if a claim is more complex, we will spend a day or even two hearing it. We must always look at this figure with some caution, but generally speaking, 16 cases are assigned to each board member.
With respect to the member's second question, I must say that as a decision maker on an administrative tribunal, it is my duty not to get involved in any association, because this could be harmful to me, mislead me or influence me in some way or another. I must remain as impartial as possible in all the decisions I make. I am not involved in any charitable organization nor in any other organization in my community.
I hope that answers your questions, Ms. Grewal.
