Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I stated earlier, we do have a 90 percent rate of processing applications. Again, I think because of changes in legislation, we are now dealing with a federal corporate ruling which dealt with a chronic pain disorder, which is now being diagnosed as part of the compensation system and because of the Supreme Court decision, we're starting to see more people coming forward with those types of complaints where before they were rejected. Now that we have this new decision made by the Supreme Court, people are coming forward again, filing their appeals on the basis of this new ruling.
