So that is a 47% increase in our budget of $392 million, which I'm very happy to see.

That leads me to the question I wanted to ask. Looking at the targets and our increasing inefficiency in the department, combined with a big inventory that we're trying to draw down on, would it be reasonable to assume that with a 47% increase in budget we could have a 47% increase in uptake and have a target of around 385,000 people next year?
