Thank you. That's very clear.

This is my last question on this general subject. I'm not sure whether this is related to the strategic review or not. A couple of months ago I was in Montague in Prince Edward Island. There is a Service Canada centre there, which I think processes EI claims. It was in the process of moving from 60 permanent staff to zero over a number of years.

My question is this. Is that a part of the strategic review process, and whether it is or not, what is the rationale for closing that place?
