On the first question, Mr. Chair, our timelines have significantly diminished. Initially, 10 years ago, for the year 2000, our average time was around 25 months. Three years ago we were down to 9.8 months. That's from the time we received it to the time the file was out. We reduced that to 6.1 months two years ago. Last year our average time on hand was 3.1 months.
That includes not just the time for review, but also all the provisions for procedural fairness. The board is held responsible for procedural fairness, a part of it at the final authority level. A significant amount of that time is counted towards the board. Of course, we can actually do some concurrent activities, but we also take care of a greater challenge.
Right now, on average, the time is 90 days from the time we receive a file to the time it's out. Last year, for the first time in the board's history, the board was current in reviewing files that had been referred to it in that same year. I think we reached that in October of last year. In October 2010, for the first time in history, we were reviewing files that had been referred to us in 2010. I expect this level will be achieved this year around the end of March or early April with that 90-day timeframe.
