It can't be done within the existing authority. It is defined in law.
You're probably aware that our minister in earlier testimony indicated—and I believe it was to this committee—that he would be very happy to hear your observations or suggestions around that, and he would be prepared to entertain that. But we are talking about an authority issue, so that has certain implications.
From a theoretical model point of view one could talk about different ways in which payments could be made. Some witnesses have spoken to you--and they've been in various reports we've received--about such ideas as structured settlements, where payments could be made over a period of time, etc. So the committee may wish to entertain things like that, but I just want to stress that the authority for the lump-sum payment as it's presently structured is in law.
