In the case previously mentioned, i.e., in the United Kingdom, the all-too-brief timeframes have been challenged before the courts, since they did not allow for the proper scrutiny of claims. Why should we adopt processes here that did not work elsewhere, in other countries?
It is simply impossible to think that people can gather the required documents within eight days. They must be given the time to collect and process the information. In any event, cases will have to be postponed. Let us be clear. This proposal of the bill rests on a mistaken assumption.
Why is there such a significant backlog? It is because there are not enough people to process claims, and not because the timeframes are too long. There have not been enough board members to adequately process claims. Let us not shift the source of the problem and create new ones.
