I am on chairman's now, but I cannot shut it off from chairman's. Five minute break. Thank you. We will come back at 4:00 o'clock.

---SHORT RECESS Thank you. Mr. Koe.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. You turned the page a bit too fast for me. Under Women's Directorate, the previous item, I got the impression from questions I asked in question period that the Women's Directorate is not being funded in the way it was in the past. There have been positions empty there for some time now, so I wonder why you need more money to do less.
