Thanks for helping and asking a great question
I probably should put in that we're looking for recent experience with accessing services.
The reason why we needed a cut off period of 1 year or less is because we need a fixed look back period to establish trends when we report on this indicator year after year. Without a cut off, we wouldn't be able to tell if any of the variance we see are the result of actions taking by the provinces and territories or if the sample population happened to have more people talk about their experiences from a long time ago. I can talk to one of our analyst to get a more detail answer, but that's my understanding of having a 1 year look back.
