Mr. John Barry:
I thought I addressed that point earlier. I was asked when we went to the Department with our budget whether it contained a specific number for the level of service providers we wanted and the answer was "No" because we were still out to tender, but the range of activities we had to do was clearly indicated. As I said earlier, we have been very up-front from the start of this pointing out that we would have to bring in external service providers. External service providers was not a line item in the budget we presented but it contained detailed line activities as to what we had to deliver and the cost of delivering those.
