Mr. Tony O'Brien:
In the Estimates for the year in question - 2011 - it was expressed in terms of the number of packages. At the end of a year, one can look back and see how many people had the benefit of those packages. That will depend on the length of time. In other words, these packages are recycled. Person A might use the package for the first quarter while person B might use it for the next nine months.
