    • One manager based in Yellowknife;
    • Two human resource officers in Yellowknife;
    • One HRO in Inuvik;
    • One HRO in Fort Smith;
    • And then two junior HROs in Yellowknife; and,

    Thank you, Madam Chair. I certainly can -- sorry, yes, so that's -- the difference there. That, Madam Chair, was positionally -- well, a couple of things, Madam Chair. There were some changes in terms of compensation and benefits back at the time. There was unfunded positions and underfunded positions that have been -- that have adjusted over time. And then also, Madam Chair, there was an unfunded donation -- this is where there's a donation that was made, $150,000 to United Way, to deal -- or to support flood relief came out of there as well. Thank you, Madam Chair.

    Okay, thanks, Madam Chair. Just over on the previous page 154, there was a rather large, back in 2021-2022, line item for financial management board and then it came down pretty dramatically. So could I get an explanation as to what that spike is all about? Thank you.
