I want to move to your comments regarding the Auditor General's finding that the department cannot fill its needs on a timely basis through promotions. And there's a whole lot of EX-2, EX-3, EX-5, and whatever, that I don't totally understand. You say, “Thus we have significantly exceeded the target in our Strategic plan for 2007-08 of 34 new EX hires.”

I guess the first question I would have is, how is the target determined? And secondly, how much have you exceeded it by?
