Mr. Chairman, we just could not say to people, "Well, that is it. It is over. Your job is gone." There are about 90 people affected. There were decentralization support initiatives negotiated by the Minister of Personnel with the Union of Northern Workers. It was to apply to staff affected by decentralization. We have committed to seek other jobs for them if they do not want to move to those other communities. The .5 PYs is to coordinate that support that we are going to give those employees who may not wish to move and help them find other work, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
