I believe that when the Prime Minister's Office did increase their budget, they did explain that they had done so in order to have a larger communications staff in order to help the Prime Minister and the ministers to communicate with Canadians, and to a lesser extent there was an increase in travel.
In light of the current fiscal restraint, PMO took the position that they would lead by example and actually looked internally and cut. You're right, they grew to a certain extent, and then they recognized the circumstances that we're in from a fiscal point of view, and they made some decisions to cut internally.
