Thank you very much, Ms. Maynard, and thank you for coming today.
I'm going to start with the budget, which you ended with.
Your budget this year was cut by over $800,000 from last year's estimates, with over $2.1 million in extra expenditures. You talked about how you processed over 6,800 files. That money was to pay for over 4,400, so obviously it's decreased. We're not getting what we need to take care of the files you have.
Did you request your budget to be reduced?
