Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am afraid I can't give a specific date or even a range of dates at this point, because once we have the new person selected, they have to be formally appointed to that position. Then, as the Member has rightly pointed out, there needs to be a process of them learning how to do their job properly. It's unlikely that would happen within a matter of days. It will probably take a couple of weeks for somebody to get their training. Then when everything is ready, we will have to contact the lawyer for the appellant to see when they are going to be available, when the appellant is going to be available. There will be a number of people that will have to then be brought together and we will have to mesh all of those schedules. I assure the Member that the appeals tribunal is very interested in dealing with this issue and getting it dealt with as quickly as possible, and we will make every effort to move this to the rehearing of the appeal in short order.
