I can't speak for the level of authority that is being undertaken in each region, but it is being utilized in the regions. If there is a problem at a regional level with that application, for example, that the regional superintendent is uncomfortable with it -- then at headquarters of BCC, for example, there used to be three staff members there. We have increased the staff component there to eight. We now have an east lending officer and a west lending officer. If a superintendent in a region feels fairly comfortable with an application, but is not totally satisfied, they can get a hold of Yellowknife and get a second opinion. The decision is still the superintendent's decision, but there is a second opinion that they can check with. So it is being used.
