Mr. Speaker, I do not know what is in the letter. I suspect it is a privileged communication, and without having it in front of me I cannot, and will not, comment on whether it is correct or not. I would like to emphasize to the honourable Member that this arrangement has been explained to me as a temporary arrangement being made for operational reasons relating to that particular employee, and it is not intended to be a permanent arrangement which would deprive the region on a permanent basis of that position. So, Mr. Speaker, the honourable Member should not be concerned that this represents an erosion of the support that would ordinarily be available to the region in the engineering field. However, there are good reasons for moving this particular individual at this particular time, and it should be seen in that context as a temporary operational arrangement. Thank you.
