On the issue of these agreements with the provinces--and there are several areas like this--in which there's a degree of uncertainty from year to year, you mentioned there'd been a one-year extension on last year's funding levels for legal aid. What is the value of having a longer term in the agreement? What does that mean? Maybe not so much on the federal side, but what would that mean on the provincial side if we had an agreement on funding that was for longer than one year?
