The increase is necessary because we purchased three buildings so that we could consolidate the employees. This is part of the commitment we made to ensure there was a balanced distribution of buildings between Gatineau and Ottawa in the national capital region. We acquired or constructed three buildings. This amount is needed for building upgrades. In this case, we will move and consolidate employees from various departments, which will enable us to terminate leases and save money. So this is not an increase in the workforce but rather an investment so that we can consolidate further and terminate leases that we have around the region.
