Madame Chair, the increase in the overall expenditures for the acquisition branch, I think, is in part due to the attribution of full costs, including overhead costs. The actual business volumes and expenditures for the acquisition branch, in terms of incoming work and the size of the branch, has remained reasonably stable. What has happened is that with the government accounting system and the attribution of the indirect costs, some of the corporate costs are now being shown against the acquisition function to give the total cost of the operation, and I believe that increase of 20% is attributable to that accounting transfer.
