We started the year with 2,800 cases. We closed 1,900. That means we've ended up with another bigger backlog this year.
The problem was that we received the extra funding in December. It's difficult at that point to make decisions on a long-term basis when we don't know if we're going to have the funding for the entire year and if we're going to have the funding the following year.
We're very excited this year. I've been told that the budget is providing us with $2.9 million. We're finalizing that with Treasury Board. We requested to get this fund as quickly as possible so we can plan and spend it throughout the year. With this additional funding, we're going to be able to hire 22 new consultants, or keep the ones we have.
