Mr. Chairman, I think both secondments end this year. Both parties that they are seconded to have been advised that we will not be extending those secondments, certainly not for periods of years. I think there is a certain element of unfairness which is expressed to us by many people who say "Why did this company or this group get the assistance of a government-paid person to be at their total disposal, and we did not?" That is a problem we are trying to address. As for do we get any benefit out of it, other than the fact that hopefully those people have worked for successful organizations, there is no direct benefit to us, Mr. Chairman.
