No, it is not the same group of 12 people. Most of the cases heard by the 12 people in Charlottetown are appeals. Most of the cases heard by the 13 other members, who are spread throughout the country, are reviews. That said, there is a lot of sharing. The members in Charlottetown also travel to hear cases, because we do reviews and appeals. What I want to make clear is that members who heard the case the first time are not on the panel when the case is heard the second time.
