Well, the operation of visa offices overseas is very expensive. You have to pay for the Canadian officials who are living overseas, as well as for the operation, locally, of the visa offices. If we do things in Canada, obviously, we don't have those extra expenses. So we imagine that if you could simply transfer the overseas processing of the dependants to Canada, so that the vast bulk of that processing is done here, that should cost less than if it's done in the visa offices.
