We'd have to do some research in order to come up with the exact figures. However, I would have to say that it's a small percentage of our budget. As Ms. Tadros indicated, most of our investigators have the necessary skills and expertise to start and complete an investigation. Occasionally, in light of the current technology in use in the four transportation sectors, we may not be certain that our expertise is the best. In such instances, we call upon the services of outside experts. As for the percentage of our annual budget spent on outside experts, it's really quite small. In most cases, I think it's substantially below $200,000.
