Thank you.
By and large, I would hope--given the commitment by the commissioner that this will be a good-news story--this is all going to be resolved. The Auditor General has pointed out that the FLS is not prioritizing cases as described to the parliamentary committee. They were told one thing, and things were actually a little different.
Backlog is a major cause of longer turnaround times in biology, and the Auditor General noted that there had been no improvement on the biology issue. I hope the commissioner, Mr. Martin, and others will recognize that biology has to be kept up to speed as well.
When I read through this, additional resources have not made service more timely in biology. I came from the private sector, ran my own business, and helped others run theirs, and when there is no competition we sometimes find that things like quality assurance fall by the wayside.
