Why do you think the department wants to change the program if it is effective? What are its reasons? It is certainly not a matter of savings since those would be at most 2 million dollars. If you change the program and by this action create 4 or 5 million dollars worth of new problems for the resource, there are in fact no savings. So, what are the reasons given by the Department for that decision?
In fact, the Department is going to transfer the costs to industry and that's all. However, I don't believe industry is going to accept very easily this new burden of significant costs.
