No, they were commercial officers. I suggest you put this question to Alain Paré from Cinar, who will be appearing on the 9th. He will explain exactly what those officers did. They were commercial officers working in the field. What we don't know is whether they were doing a good job. The actual spinoffs of their field work should ordinarily be part of the program evaluation. They were commercial officers. There was no duplication with cultural officers; it was a different job.
