From that statement that the Minister of safety has made, this position isn't filled in Rankin at this time, or in the Keewatin.

Mr. Chairman, no, in both cases. We've run advertisements in both situations and have not been successful in filling the positions.

Mahsi. That begs a question, how much of the one PY and the $100,000 is going to be utilized this year?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Actually, the request for the position was established in 1989-90. In the 1991-92 cutbacks, that position, in fact, was vacant and was given up. However, the inspections for the Keewatin were performed from Yellowknife, as indicated by the Minister, on a time-available basis. Since that time, with

decentralization, community transfer, population growth and the construction activity, we see a requirement for that. No different than a requirement in the field that we should be filling quickly, the Inuvik position, as well. But there has been very significant construction activity in the communities.

I still have some concerns about this one PY to implement the revised Yellowknife office plan. We have a whole department of engineers and designers in Public Works, or a division in Public Works, who are in this business of buildings, inspections and designing. I don't understand why we would have to designate and have a supp for an additional person to implement the Yellowknife office plan. We only have a certain number of offices, and I just can't see why this couldn't be absorbed within the existing manpower the department has.
