Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It has been anticipated for months now that the federal government will be cutting substantial amounts of money from the budget of this government and that certain programs would also be targeted for reductions by the federal government. It was in anticipation of that that the Department of Justice decided to look at reductions of positions that it funds itself. We felt, at that time, that we could rationalize eliminating these two positions without doing any damage to the statutory obligations we have under legislation to deliver language services. Thank you.
