Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Dr. Shapiro, I'd like to turn to the report that you have referred to in your comments, the 2005-06 annual report of the Ethics Commissioner dated June 2006, and specifically to appendix I. I interpret what you're stating as to what it's going to take to operate your office for the year 2006 is $5,389,884. From 2005, although I see that's for 10.5 months...so ignoring that fact, it's roughly a 60% increase, and that's if Bill C-2 doesn't happen. For 34 employees, that's one heck of an increase. Obviously, it's not 60%, because 2005 is for less than a year, but that's one heck of an increase for 34 employees. Can you tell us why you need that increase?
