It's a combination of factors: the perfect storm. The global environment in which we live has resulted in an increased interest in DFAIT subject matters. From 2004-05 to 2008-09, over that four-year span we had a total increase of 78% in ATIP demands, so our capacity has just not been able to keep pace due to financial restraints. DFAIT had financial restraints, strategic review, like other institutions, but I and my senior officials up to the minister's office all agree that ATIP obligations are to be abided by, and we are working right now on addressing those shortfalls so we can have a better result in the years to come.
