It's very early to associate any change to the cadet allowance with our recruiting initiative. But according to the last update I had with respect to the troops we had programmed into the academy, all of the seats have been filled, which is somewhat unusual for us. We have had some challenges on this head. Whether it's attributable to cadet allowance, I can't yet say. But our depot is going at an incredible pace. This year we're forecasting that 1,824 cadets will go through our academy. By contrast, when I joined the RCMP in 1974, and we were in a growth period at the time, we were putting through less than 1,000, so it's almost doubled. It's unprecedented in our history.
