I'll start with the cost first. The total budget is $26.4 million for the commission. Again, my understanding is that the commissioner expects to come within that budget.

In terms of timing, the commissioner is currently scheduled to provide his final report by June 30, 2012, but he has requested an extension, and that is something that is currently being evaluated by the government.
