the overseas development <strong>and</strong> relief projects are<br />
administered. In 2000-2001 MCCC’s income<br />
was $25 million, about 47 percent <strong>of</strong> the total<br />
MCC income. There were 408 <strong>Canadian</strong>s out <strong>of</strong><br />
a total <strong>of</strong> 867 MCC workers serving in North<br />
