Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Well, the functions of the organizations are changing and there's not a duplication of the functions. The delivery of the assessment for subsidies is being delivered by the workers at the government service centres, so that's where we need to have the ability to do that in those service centres. The funding was transferred from the Housing Corporation, so I think that, over time, we will find ways to streamline the way the operations are delivered and, as we did with income support when it was revised in the mid-'90s, I believe that in the long run we will find ways to achieve the savings that Mr. Ramsay is looking for. Thank you.
