Officials from GSOC appeared before us a couple of weeks ago. They told us that, in other jurisdictions, the general caseload is ten cases per investigator and GSOC now has 20 cases per investigator, which is considerably lower than the much higher caseload before this. Obviously there has been an increase in the budget and staffing for GSOC, and we went through that with them. Is there further proposed increases in numbers? Has GSOC applied for additional staffing and where is that?
