Mr. Chairman, I believe it is around 40, but I am hoping that the piece of paper that Ms. Mike has just picked up contains the number. I will pass it over to her, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It doesn't contain the number. I am looking at the organizational chart. It is about 40.

So, there are approximately 40 people left in this department. Can you tell me what they are doing? If their only function is for staffing and looking after housing, but you are getting rid of all the houses, can somebody tell me what these 40 people are doing?

Mr. Chairman, of course there is still housing, otherwise, as the Member says, we are getting out of that. There is still staffing and workforce adjustment. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Can I get a breakdown of how many are in staffing, how many are in housing and how many are looking after workforce adjustment?

With that response, I assume that the information is not readily available, but hopefully it will be available. I assume, though, you and your staff and all of the central agencies, are seriously looking at the merits of continuing this department as it exists as a department, and perhaps integrating them into existing departments. I am curious as to what sort of planning is going on to look at the role of the department that is now there.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The original plan, when these moves were going to be made, was the Department of Personnel staffing would move into the Executive and be under the Premier. Because this was a monumental move, and we had so much pressure on the system, that was one of the things that wasn't completed at that time, although it is still under active consideration, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.

Has the transfer of land titles from the federal government to the territorial government taken place? Has the responsibility of land titles registration been decentralized to the regions within our government?

Mr. Chairman, the legislation to repeal the federal Land Titles Act was passed by federal Parliament on June 23, 1993. So, the transfers have legally taken place, Mr. Chairman.
