Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, what the Minister presented to you yesterday under the Department of Human Resources was the 2007-2008 budget. As you see throughout this document, a supplementary document, whenever a department runs into problems and does not have the available funding within its appropriation made by this House, it has to come back to this House for further appropriation. So the existing money is for operating under the 2006-2007 year, not for the 2007-2008 year. So what he presented to you for the 2007-2008 year shows a reduction in staff. The breakdown of the costs as provided earlier for Human Resources falls into a couple of areas and the big area is the transition cost. I've given a breakdown of that number and a number of things have occurred throughout the year to cause Human Resources to make a number of shifts and hire some extra staff or, as well, deal with the benefits of staff that were in place at the time this was going forward. Thank you.
