Thank you.
The information I've cited comes from the departmental plan for 2022-23, which indicates an expectation of 3,105 full-time equivalents in the upcoming year and that it is a decrease from the current year. It also indicates that it does take into account the 200 temporary human resources positions that will be kept on with the initiative to address the backlog.
If, after this meeting, you go back and review the departmental plan and you have some additional or changed information to answer my question, I'd appreciate receiving that in writing. It is, with respect, completely at odds with the information that we're receiving from the Library of Parliament.
My next question also relates directly to the estimates. The pain and suffering compensation contained in the estimates is just north of $1.5 billion, but that represents a 35% decrease from last year. It's a decrease of $812 million. There doesn't appear to be any explanation for why there would be a 35% decrease in pain and suffering compensation.
Can you provide us with one?
