Mr. Chairman, where we did close down some of the contracts for licensing last year, we've built that savings into the budget. This year, for the current fiscal year, I'm not sure that we have savings. The biggest one we closed down was in Yellowknife and we had to spend a fair bit of money to staff it up again and now operate it through the government. So right now I don't know that there is any free balance in here. I don't believe there is for this year, unless more smaller contractors would be asking to terminate their contract.
