Thank you very much. That's my understanding.
I really appreciate that, and I think you really are an example that people joining the public service can aspire to. In all my years, sir, I haven't heard so many good comments about a person as I have heard about you.
The other question I have is, yes, there is always a lag time, and governments change, but I have been on this committee for a long time and I can't recall our ever having one-third of the membership being vacant. I know that when you started we had a backlog of 52,000 people. You, sir, brought it down to 20,000, and we were looking forward to that number decreasing and having an efficient system. Of course, with these vacancies, the backlog is growing.
Can you, in your time, recall when we had a situation where over one-third of the board was vacant?
