                                        And how many people are working reviewing and working on those types of cases?

                                        Yes.
                                    
                                            
                                            1:27:30
                                        
                                        Thank you for that question.
                                    
                                            
                                            1:27:31
                                        
                                        So we have an assistant commissioner assigned to our reintegration unit.
                                    
                                            
                                            1:27:35
                                        
                                        Underneath that assistant commissioner is an executive director of reintegration as well as a director of reintegration.

                                        Last year, for example, at this time we had one person part time reviewing individuals for six a.
                                    
                                            
                                            1:27:47
                                        
                                        At this time we have three people reviewing individuals or candidates for six a.
                                    
                                
                                    Sandy Nurse
                                
                            
                            
                                            
                                            1:27:54
                                        
                                        Three people so three people assigned to just review cases, is that what they do fully?
                                    
                                
                                    Nell McCarty

                                        They have other responsibilities, but this is part of their responsibility.
