Mr. Shane O'Sullivan:
There are a couple of businesses outsourced. They are in this non-core space. When a business is determined to be non-core, it does not make a huge amount of sense to build the capability in-house in terms of staff numbers and expertise. For example, our commercial mortgage book was deemed to be non-core in 2011 and, as a consequence, we are not investing money and time in building capability to manage that in-house because it is non-core and it will be sold. We have engaged a third-party outsource provider, Certus, to help service that book.
