Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Under the TSC, there are standards and service agreements established with all departments. So the TSC has criteria that it has to meet because of those agreements that are signed and service levels provided. As well, with the one year and all departments part of the bundle, that's when we will be able to do an accurate accounting of how things have worked out, what was planned and the result of the work that's done informing the TSC. So we are hoping that within this year of operation, we will be able to show the differences that are made. Like any other system, when you have a central agency service or function and departments have become accustomed to doing it on their own and calling their own staff and having people readily available, it takes them getting accustomed to taking out of their budgets to pay for the services. It is not considered as an easy move. After a year of having everyone into the system and bundled up, we would hope to be able to do some proper assessments and going forward to see how much in fact it has been a benefit. Thank you.
