Thank you, Minister.
It's important to acknowledge that we do have a very serious problem with backlogs right now. I infer from your remarks that acknowledgement of the problem, which is an important first step.
Part of solving the problem is not just to say that you're working on it, but to establish specific goals in terms of what is an acceptable wait time for people for specific categories and to establish timelines in which you intend to realize those goals. For instance, you would say that the current wait times in many categories are clearly unacceptable and create significant hardship for people, and then say what acceptable wait times are and that you will seek to have our system working within those wait times within a certain period of time.
Is it your intention to identify those goals and timelines and work toward them?
