We will be spending about $6.4 million. Parents will be expected to pay for the food itself, as in those other models. The salaries for the preparation of the food—and that will also be a function of how many meals are being prepared and how many salaries are required—will be paid for by the Commonwealth. The equipment used to prepare the meals will also be paid for by the Commonwealth. The amounts will differ as a function of the number of people we will be catering for.
