Thank you, Madam Chair. As you can imagine, if we think there is a benefit to having some expertise in house, if we think it will pay for itself and we can make a business case for that resource, then we would certainly go forward to FMB and make the case that we need that in house, but it would have to be something that we use frequently enough to make sense. Otherwise, it's more cost effective for us to contract out. I would point out, though, that when there is the ability for us to have in house resources that we're going to use enough, there is an advantage in that there is some continuity. I think that is one of the advantages to having the resource be a staff resource that we can draw on, but, of course, it's got to make business sense. Thank you, Madam Chair.
