Well, I encourage you to do so, because, indeed, one of the complaints we often hear has to do with the increase in paperwork and the time spent drafting documents. If there were a way to reduce the time spent on administrative tasks, I think probation officers could do more of the work expected of them.
Ms. Legault, I'll turn back to you. I was saying that, when there is a parole decision, our colleagues across the floor often accuse the government of being behind that decision. I would like to hear your comments again so you can make it clear to our colleagues that the Parole Board of Canada is independent and impartial.
I would also like you to tell us whether the current budget will allow you to sustain the quality of your work—which I commend, by the way. Finally, I would like to know if your commissioners have identified any gaps in the assistance provided by probation officers to inform the board's work.
