I guess I'm going to go back to the initial motion, Mr. Chairman. The recommendation to the Minister was to find ways to expedite the resolution of longstanding claims so perhaps we shouldn't be asking whether 246 days is too long or not, but whatever our length of time is, how can we expedite things, how can we move things along in a faster method for long-outstanding claims? Mr. Chairman, I wish I could put some framework to that. I can't. But we're dealing with the impressions that we're getting from constituents, from workers, that there are some cases that have been lingering out there for years. Those are the ones that we wanted to have addressed; they're not, and I would say, Mr. Chairman, that the committee should send the Minister back to come up with an answer that more directly addresses the motion. I'll stop there, Mr. Chairman, if our process is to take things motion by motion.
