Mr. Chairman, I do not like repeating myself too much, but we are doing it as cost-effectively as possible by hiring someone on a retainer who will be paid for the days they put in this position. We will provide an office space and the support that is necessary for them as they carry out the job. We do not know whether it will be one day this month and six days next month and then nothing for two months. That is all pretty hard to predict at this point. In terms of the other reasons, of course, there is the technical nature of equal pay, as Ms. Woodward has said, the specialized skills that are not usually found in the general human rights staffing and commissioners, and then of course the changing and dynamic environment that this person has to work in and keep up with the changing information. Thank you.
