Yes. The numbers that were mentioned are based on simulations that the Treasury Board Secretariat undertook before the regulations were adopted. We will have to wait to see what the final numbers are, but the number of 700 is correct, and the number of 154,000 more Canadians who will be able to access the services of Service Canada after the regulations are fully implemented.... Those numbers are correct.
