Thank you very much, Madam Chairman.

Thank you, Commissioner, for attending today and for your presentation. I have a couple of questions for you.

I noted in the main estimates, the Office of the Information Commissioner actually has a small decrease in its overall estimates from the previous year. It looks to be about 2.5%. According to the Library of Parliament, it's made up of a decrease in “other operating costs”.

Can you describe for me a little bit about what the “other operating costs” are? Where did you find those savings?
