Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, gentlemen, for appearing before us. You gave us a very positive and helpful insight into the nature of the reservists.

You indicated that of the 12,000 outstanding applications, 83% of the 12,000 applicants are active duty reservists, active in a reserve at the moment. That gives us a window as to the age cohort of the applicants.

Twelve years ago, we went to an electronic records system. Of the 12,000 applicants, how many of those applications would involve records that have to be assembled through evidence?
