Mr. Chairman, I cannot provide every one. Basically it is the training positions which have been identified for in-service training. I can provide the detail of all the positions. Nine positions have been identified in the public service training, in conjunction with those targeted at senior level positions which have been decentralized, four in Rankin Inlet, two in Fort Smith, and one in Iqaluit.

I hope there are more. If there are only nine senior positions that is over $100,000 plus per position for training. I hope there is more involved that those. I know you have details. I would appreciate the details, not here, if you would table them at a later time, that would be appreciated.
