Mr. Speaker, in regard to the layoffs, these positions and the unit at Fort Smith with the Power Corporation have been evaluated over the past 18 months. The positions were declared not needed, mainly because of the close-down of the Pine Point mining establishment. These positions had been carried over, and the company had gone to see exactly what should be retained and what positions should be released. So therefore the main reason would be that the Pine Point establishment is no longer there and the services are no longer required.
