Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism. Earlier in the session, I asked the Minister about the new itinerant economic development officer service that was proposed in the budget that was recently passed. The Minister responded to my questions stating that these positions will be filled by June 30th of this year. I will assume that that is still valid. However, I still have some difficulty in determining how these two teams of economic development officers will function. I would like some clarification. I would like to ask the Minister as to how these teams will operate. Will they be travelling to these different communities or areas when called upon or will they go on a rotating basis? I need some clarification.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think there will be a schedule of travel and arrangements made. After all, that is the intent of this; to get in and service these smaller communities. I am sure that if there is an emergency or there are opportunities, we would be flexible enough to meet both of
these situations. There won't be an organized schedule because that is important to the constituencies and the clients. We will respond to the specific requests of these communities or individuals within it. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I presume that the recruitment of these positions has been started if they are to be filled by June 30th. I wonder where the PYs for these positions are coming from. Are they new PYs or have they been reallocated from other tasks within the department?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe they aren't new PYs. There has just been a reorganization of the department and a shifting of resources into this important strategy that we have in place for the smaller communities.
