Mr. Chair, I'd like to inform the committee that for the year to date, the board has processed and rendered over 18,000 decisions across the four divisions. In fact, the board resumed operations as of June, when in-person hearings began. Most in-person hearings were suspended as a result of the pandemic, with the exception of the immigration division. However, within a few months after that, in-person hearings did resume. I believe it was actually in July. We were also able to shift to hear remote hearings. It's been a tremendous success for the board.
The board has traditionally been a very manual and paper-based organization. We wanted the silver lining—
