Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask a question to the Minister of DPW. I have been advised that the Department of Public Works has acquired leases with a company called Husky rentals -- I do not know if it is the company name or if the units are called Husky rental units. I would like to ask the Minister of DPW if he knows for what length of time these leases are in effect.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Justice. Just before the break we moved with indecent haste to pass an amendment to the Official Languages Act on the understanding that the federal government would move very quickly on it. Could the Minister indicate to the House at what stage this amendment to the federal legislation is in, in the federal Parliament?

Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. I have been advised over the break that there is a position being centralized from the Fort Smith regional office into Yellowknife; basically, the position being a municipal planning engineer. Would the Minister advise me whether he is aware of this intention to centralize this position?

Mr. Speaker, I would want to be very clear with the honourable Member that for certain operational reasons the incumbent in that job is being transferred to Yellowknife where that person can get better support from my department. It is the individual that is being transferred and not the position. I do not see this as a centralization as much as a redeployment of an individual for specific operational reasons. Thank you.

So, can the Minister clarify that the position, municipal planning engineer, will remain in Fort Smith and it is only the individual involved that is being transferred to Yellowknife?
