Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you very much for the question. Perhaps I could start with some of the factual information.
We are not moving our office to Vancouver. It was situated in Vancouver by Governor in Council and that was done before the agency was brought into being and before the board was appointed. And yes, when fully staffed we have a complement of 45. At the moment we have 22 people; 15 are civil servants and the rest are consultants or part-time through temporary help services. We are staffing to correspond to the regulations coming into force.
The third factual piece that might be helpful is that, yes, our budget is $10.2 million, but since the beginning of the agency, last year, for example, we spent $5.7 million of that $10.2 million.
In terms of the federal government and the Supreme Court, I would ask, with all due respect, that this question be addressed to the department, because it is the Government of Canada's and the department's question in terms of the Supreme Court and its ruling. We are all awaiting with great interest the decision of the court. Once that decision comes, then the Government of Canada will take it under advisement and make decisions from there as to progress.
