Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As I said before, there may be 52 special warrants but most of them, probably 51 of them, are in response to the collective agreement, a contractual arrangement. Would departments have run out, would activities have run out. Yes, some of them probably would have. Some of the activities are managed very closely.
The regions in particular do not have a lot of flexibility. Since this is a contractual arrangement anyway, and we do commit salaries to the end of the year, rather than bringing it back here twice, we are doing it as one special warrant.
Mr. Chairman, further as I mentioned before in response to Mr. Dent, we have made a commitment to give the committee a monthly update on special warrants so we should not have this kind of discussion again. Thank you.
