Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Why would the Development Corporation allow themselves to become so dependent on one person, when it was always intended to be just a temporary arrangement? I understand that this started back in 1989, 1990, perhaps quite a few years ago. Every year, the government has been funding this position. I have no problem with it except for the fact that, if it happens to one corporation because of fairness and equity, it should happen to other corporations, as well. I know there are different groups out there that certainly would welcome an additional $100,000 from the government in the form of a secondment to help their businesses. In the west, we have some band councils that require a lot of help. This type of secondment would certainly help them along the way to development. Just to allow it for one group, I don't see that as fair.
I would like to ask the department, why has the corporation become so dependent on this one person? Are there other staff in the Development Corporation who could do this kind of work? I'm curious to find out these things. Thank you.
