Thank you.

I was reading the report on plans and priorities for 2011-12, and it talked about the increasingly complex nature of investigation and litigation. We have cases like the CBC—on section 68.1—going up through the federal courts, and we've had ministers taking issues to court.

What is the added expense that you're dealing with now in terms of the complexity of litigation, how does that factor into your overall budget, and how are you offsetting it in terms of moving dollars around in your other files?
