Mr. Chairman, I'm really not aware of a CHR half-time and a SS half-time being combined to make one person year. Unless, what the Member is saying is that the social worker is only a half-time term position and the CHR is a half-time position. My understanding from the beginning of the CHR program, was that those positions would be full time.
But one of the things is that I think when we're doing this amalgamation or consolidation and with the Education department taking over certain responsibilities, what could happen then, we could sit down with the community and assess the person years they have in their community, whether it's an employment officer, a GLO, a CHR or a social worker, and will try to come to some consideration with the community as to what kind of positions in that community are most important. So putting all those different resources together could possibly create a better support within those programs than we've had before. I know there are little bits and pieces here and there that we tried to accommodate in a piecemeal fashion because issues come up; but now I think we can start looking at a community in terms of the total holistic need and saying where do you feel that these positions are best placed. Some of the positions may be redundant. Then giving the person years clearer terms of reference on their job functions and training people for the right reason to do a certain job, probably would allow in most cases to put together a fairly good package along with the community. We would want to do it along with the community.
