Mr. Chairman, we are very optimistic that the privatized services of the one half of the computer functions will be successful but they have only been recently given the contract and then it will be sometime before we can analyze to see if it was successful in cost savings, et cetera. We are very optimistic. The issue about RWED being the lead on other privatization initiatives, the department RWED, formerly Economic Development and Tourism, is a department with the expertise on economics, business, et cetera that we require and use for these initiatives and it may or may not be spreading the work around rather than anything else.
