Mr. Paul Reid:

Yes. If we take the two years in question, obviously our main allocation of funding was absorbed by Covid-specific funding. The process is that we would work closely with the Department where the allocation for certain activities such as recruitment looks like it is not going to be used. With agreement with the Department, we would fund other activities. Particularly in 2020 and 2021 that went specifically to Covid-related funding.
