Thank you, Mr. Chairman. May I get information on grants and contributions on page 7-17? It shows the reduction of $400,000. I am wondering what grants and contributions are being cut. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

The change in the grants and contributions was the result of the Mackenzie court workers being moved into the regular operating budget of the Legal Services Board. They used to be funded through a contribution agreement. It is now under the board, the Legal Services Board.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So that explains the one on page 7-18, the allocation for $581,000 for court workers. So they are just becoming part of the government book? There is no cut in the operations expense for the board, but there is an increase on compensation and benefits, and I gather that would mean the hiring of extra staff. Is that correct?
