I might mention one of the challenges that occurs when we set fees, let's say for an application. CIC incurs certain expenses, obviously, but we work on many things in partnership with other departments--CBSA, for example, and the RCMP in doing security checks and fingerprint checks and those sorts of things, and the Department of Foreign Affairs for our rent, which is a general overhead. The fees are applied to a broad range. We're not self-sufficient in the provision of those services.
