You asked about the overall numbers that would be required. When we look at the drug recognition expert, we basically compare them to the evidentiary breath technician, the person who operates the breath-testing instrument. There are currently 2,600 breath techs in Canada. We're sitting with about 250 trained for drug impairment, and if we look at them as being on an equal footing, we'd be looking, overall, in the long term, to make the same number of people trained as DREs, so somewhere in the neighbourhood of 2,600 to 3,000.
