The formula, which I indicated earlier, does take into account what the previous contribution of the federal government was and what the contribution of the provincial government is. So you can have, for example, variations between some provinces. For example, in P.E.I., I think, the federal contribution is about 70%, and in Ontario the federal contribution is about 23%. So it does take into account a number of factors, including the situation, the crime rate, the rural population, the number of charges, and so on in that province.
