Thank you, Madam Chair, for the question.
All our contracts are disclosed on proactive disclosure. Off the top of my head, I can't enunciate how many there were from the beginning of the agency to now. We can certainly provide that; they are on proactive disclosure.
Second, if you recall, this agency is barely three years old. When this agency was established, there was one employee. Obviously in a start-up phase as we are hiring permanent staff for the agency, there will be a time when we utilize contracts and contractors much more, because we do not have the permanent staff in place. I'm pleased to report that over the last three years the use of contracts has gone down and the number of indeterminate staff in the agency has increased, and that's the trend that we want to keep going as we finish our staffing process, commensurate with the regulations being in place.
