Mr. Erskine-Smith, as Mr. Dubeau has indicated, the process with respect to the health benefits has been under way and evolving since 2011. In 2013, at the request of provincial contracting jurisdictions, general health care issues were moved to the provincial and territorial health care plans. The occupational side was retained by the RCMP.
The experience since 2013 has been, as Mr. Dubeau has indicated, that the adjudication process is by definition a management process, therefore a one-sided process. It doesn't have an appeal mechanism. It's just not a sustainable administrative structure. The inclusion of the changes in this legislation were thought to be a helpful way to move forward at this time.
If you have a different view about the sequencing of events here, we would be interested to see your approach and your argument, but bear in mind the point that Mr. Brison mentioned earlier, that for all of the rest of the public service, this is the way the system functions. It seems to have functioned satisfactorily in relation to the rest of the public service.
