The strategy was to increase our capability at the front end because we were working on the automated process for the analysis, thereby expecting to see a two to threefold increase in capacity with the staff that we had in place. Therefore, in order to feed the analysis, we needed to have upfront capacity to search the exhibits and process them so that they could provide samples for analysis. As well, when you're in transition from one process to another, it's not a good time to be bringing people in. You want to train them in the new technology, as opposed to the previous technology. So it made more sense to us to do it that way.
