For the arg max on line 3 of the Generic CE algorithm pseudocode, what is u? Should the u instead be v?

That is, should $\mathop{\textrm{argmax}}_{\mathbf{v}} \frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=1}^N H(\mathbf{X}_i)\frac{f(\mathbf{X}_i;\mathbf{u})}{f(\mathbf{X}_i;\mathbf{v}^{(t-1)})} \log f(\mathbf{X}_i;\mathbf{v})$ be changed to $\mathop{\textrm{argmax}}_{\mathbf{v}} \frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=1}^N H(\mathbf{X}_i)\frac{f(\mathbf{X}_i;\mathbf{v})}{f(\mathbf{X}_i;\mathbf{v}^{(t-1)})} \log f(\mathbf{X}_i;\mathbf{v})$
