Mr. Speaker, I might take issue with a couple of the numbers. I'm just looking at the 2003 annual report, which is the latest document before the public. Mr. Speaker, the number of claims appealed bounced up considerably. Let's look at that five-year picture from 1999 with 36 claims appealed; in 2003, 60 claims were appealed; a 60 percent increase. Is this not also a sign that our claims system needs an overhaul, Mr. Speaker?
