Okay.

I just wonder how you feel about some of the changes that we know were made within the ranks under Commissioner Elliott's watch. First of all, there was the increase--the significant increase, I believe a 16% increase--to the personnel of the RCMP. That would be one of the changes implemented, I believe. There were also the enhancements and expanded capacities of Depot, and also the pay for new recruits while they're at Depot.

How significant are those changes that were brought into effect?
