Thank you, Madam Chair. The cost projections here provided are the funding requested from the Department of Human Resources that went through into this document breaks down into three areas. As I laid it out, the transition costs and within those transition costs there's a breakdown of salaries and wages. The second piece of that is a one-time transition cost. As provided from the information, there are a number of areas that fell into that one. Establishing some of the offices is a one-time cost there in the regions, as well as severance costs associated with some of the human resources amalgamation processes that went on. There's some computer hardware and software costs of $252,000, and that could be related to that work because there were recommendations made by that review that told the Department of Human Resources how it could better utilize parts of the program. That required further software licences that were not being used or parts of the program that were not being used. I'm told new licence support fees were in the area of $69,000 and the expansion support fees were $33,000. So some of those could be related to recommendations made out of that review. Thank you, Madam Chair.
