Qujannamiik, Mr. Chairman. I have a small question. I am looking at the total PYs in the 1992-93 revised forecast and the figure is 30.7 PYs, reduced to 29.9 PYs. However, looking at the increase in the salaries and wages, there is an increase of $3,100. How is that increase justified?

Secondly, looking at the 29.9 PYs with salaries and wages of $1.985 million, that is a $66,000 average, which includes secretaries, clerk, bookkeepers, et cetera. That makes me think many of these people who are not in those categories, are in the neighbourhood of $80,000 to $100,000 for salaries, and maybe more. Why is it so different from other civil servants?

See context to find out what was said next.
