I have a couple of questions. I think they should be rather easy to answer.

You indicated in your report that you were concerned and you were critical of the fact that the VRAB set a target of 50% of its decisions being upheld by the Federal Court.

Would it not be much better, and would we not prefer, that the Federal Court's disagreement with a decision by the VRAB would be an exception rather than the rule?
