Yes. Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, gentlemen, for appearing before our committee today and sharing your thoughts in a very helpful way. I know that it's not the first time you've appeared before our committee. In fact, you've been here a number of times to tell various committees your story. I'm telling you that we're listening and we hear you and I'm very grateful for your attendance today.
Mr. Thibeau, sir, you mentioned hiring more caseworkers and the ratio going down to 25:1. You've said that could be a positive factor on services and wait times, certainly for individuals living in rural or remote areas. Could you explain what you mean by “could be a positive factor” and what concerns you have that might not be addressed, even though there are more people being hired?
