A number of things happen under the new Growing Forward suite of programming. Some of it is that certain provinces now are administering, so it's not a federal government cost to administer anymore. The federal government at this point administers programming in Manitoba and the Atlantic region. All the other provinces do it on their own. There are some administrative savings there because we're not duplicating.
There are also some savings in our travel and hospitality costs, some 60% over other years. We're actually doing more travel but it's costing us less. We're finding efficiencies there. Our entourage has shrunk. We schlep our own bags. We look after our own hotels. We do a lot of things like that, as most Canadians would expect us to.
We identified a lot of savings like that in back offices and so on. No program was affected in a negative way. I know there are always stories out there that we've somehow slashed food safety and so on. None of that's true. The programs are still very robust. There are actually more inspectors on the front line than there ever were. I'm going a little beyond your question, but that's just to some of the other things that have come up.
There were people who were hired to put in place Growing Forward 2. They have now been terminated. They were on short-term contracts to make that work happen under Mr. Meredith's shop. So there are some savings there as well.
