Okay. Sorry.

Just very quickly, the 1,144 FTEs is just a budgetary amount; it's not in internal services. Those FTEs were taken from all the branches and put into a reserve to pay for the salary increases.

So it wasn't actually a reduction in internal services. That was just where we held the reserve to be able to pay the salary increases for all of our other individuals.
