Last year the NRC undertook a revision of its research programs, something that we have to do from time to time in order to make sure our activities are aligned with our own strategy. Therefore, we started the revision of all NRC research programs. As a result, as was mentioned earlier, about 100 NRC scientists were laid off because of program cancellation. Programs were not cancelled because they were not good scientifically speaking. This was not a matter of this being bad science and therefore we have to cut it; it was primarily to realign our activities according to the areas of strategy that were defined for us. So as a result of that, we did some cutting in Halifax, but we repositioned that institute to better serve the community there, including the industry community.
We had to abandon some programs, obviously. We did that elsewhere in Canada as well. But it was not a cutting exercise, because we reinvested that money in support of our strategy. It was a realignment. I do believe it's part of sound business to review your programs from time to time to make sure they are connected to some needs expressed by the industry.
