Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Saez, the numbers the department posts say they process somewhere in the neighbourhood of 20,000 reviews a year. Approximately 70% are approved the first go-around, and then about 5,000 per year are dealt with at some level at VRAB. You mentioned that your group deals with 2,000 per year, and then they send them back to the department for approval. Is this included in the 70% that they quote?
