Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
I want to take this opportunity to thank the department for all of its work, recognizing, first of all, that you're dealing with a very difficult issue, and, second, that there are some time constraints as well. We're always concerned about time constraints, especially when it comes to the administration of justice for people. That leads me to the very first question concerning the initial review process--the need for it to be procedurally sound and fair and that it not create unnecessary costs and delays.
It's an issue that I have already raised in the House, because if we don't get it right at the front end, these delays will in fact have the unintended consequence of creating a bottleneck, which is what we're trying to avoid.
I'd like to have your point of view on that.
