Thank you, Mr. Chair, that's correct.
You've indicated that the department met its nine-month payment target for 84% of the initiatives. I'm looking at paragraph 8.34, where it appears that a survey was done, and only 2 of 29 rated payments are ranked as very timely. I'm having difficulty understanding how 84% of the payment initiatives were met within the nine-month timeline. I look at the excess moisture events, which accounted for 86 of total payments, or $434 million. Every one of those employers, so 14 of 28, were paid out 30% earlier than the deadline, yet in this survey, only 2 of 29 payments are rated as very timely.
I'm very confused when I see that at least half of the payments were made on time, yet recipients don't think they were timely. Is this because recipients don't understand what timeframe they should expect payment within? Can you elaborate on that a little bit, please?
