Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think this department and this division is the start of some of the larger other expenses areas that we are going to see. In fact, when I saw the total budget for this department and the other expenses, and this department is bigger in compensation and benefits. The total other expenses is $36.6 million as opposed to compensation and benefits which is almost $34 million. I have a couple of questions on what the Minister gave us. Under purchased services, this division has a budget of $1 million. That would mean as many as 10 PYs in government jobs. Contract services, once again, is $1.196 million. That would amount to another 12 jobs. I don't know what goes into purchased services. I would be interested in more information on that. At the same time, I would like to know if there is a further breakdown of $679,000 for other expenses. Thank you.
