My understanding is that the ALMO is now gone, which from our perspective is unfortunate, but those who were applying through the ALMO were employers who had already been using the LMO process and were very familiar with it. The officials they worked with were very familiar with their operations and with the labour market situation in those communities. It was a situation where there was a very strong relationship and a lot of contact between the officials and the employers.
