Thank you very much.

And thank you all for being here.

I don't want to flog a dead horse, but I wanted to come back to this $500,000 in the Prime Minister's Office. You mentioned a number of factors, but one of them was the election and the layoff of staff during the election. Was that a big fraction of the $500,000? How much was saved due to the election, compared with other factors?
