I'm going to ask the first question.
Good afternoon, Mr. Shapiro. If I understand correctly, your 2005-2006 budget totalled $4.6 million, and you're now asking that it be increased to $5 million, which represents an increase of approximately 10%.
I've only been sitting on this committee for a short time; so I haven't had the opportunity to absorb all the necessary information. Correct me if I'm wrong, but, from what I understood, this committee prepared a report a year and a half ago on the new funding mechanism for officers of Parliament. I believe that mechanism was not yet really implemented. Is that correct?
