Mr. Chairman, the salary shortfall for the current fiscal year is much more serious than the three satellite detachments. In fact, the overall shortfall has resulted in 15 positions being declared vacant. There is a vacant position at G division, headquarters, and deletion of positions from four other detachments. It is a matter of a total of 15 positions for which there are inadequate funds at the moment and something like a $1.2 million shortfall that we are dealing with in the current fiscal year. That is the dimension of the problem. It is not in the base. The salary moneys are not there to support the full establishment of 225 members and that is where there are presently 15 vacant positions.
