Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We do get a very high level report about every six months of what the requests are about. So we do have that sort of information, but it's just on the first request. Oftentimes, when you get into a counselling situation, there are things that fall out. It doesn't necessarily lead us to have what we consider a very accurate snapshot of information, but every six months we do get a high level snapshot of what the usage is about.

Mr. Chairman, maybe a couple of details about the new contract that's been let. What is the term of this, over what length of time, and what is the cost of the new contract, Mr. Chairman?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It's a three-year contract and the budget for the service is about $1.2 million over three years.

Does this amount reflect a change in the cost of the program from the previous two years or the previous contractor, Mr. Chairman?

Mr. Chairman, if we know that the demand for assistance is going up and that we have negotiated a contract for less money, have the terms of the contract been changed then? Is the lower cost of the program reflective of a lower quality of criteria or requirement in the contract? Are our employees going to be getting less service, Mr. Chairman?

Thank you. The Minister remarked that there is a rise in the volume. Information that I have would suggest that it is quite a substantive rise. I wonder if the Minister could provide information to committee on the volumes that have been experienced in calls for assistance, Mr. Chairman.
