The cutbacks in the public service really don't affect the work of our board because our board is responsible for the federal private sector. In terms of the nature of cases coming before the board, they tend to be relatively stable. Applications for certification and our duty of fair representation complaints run typically at about 25% of our workload, and that seems to be consistent. I haven't seen any change in that trend.
