Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Through you to Mr. Marchand, I'm not concerned about the competence of the board or how the board is selected. I am more interested in the fact that you have 6,000 appeals. That's a tremendous workload. Is the workload a result of the criteria for compensation or benefits? Are the criteria too vague, and they can't make a good decision in the first interaction with the veteran who is looking for compensation from the department?
