Thank you, Madam Chair. Contracts for the provision of legal services have to come through the Department of Justice. So if the Department of Finance wants some legal work done and they want a contract and want to see somebody contracted, we handle that for them. They would pay for it, but you wouldn't see a budget line item in their mains that would be specific to that. So in order for us to pull together the entire legal bill, if you would, for the government as a whole on any given year, we'd have to go out and talk to the various departments and see what their needs had been on a year-to-year basis. Thank you.
