Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the honourable member is referring to social services staffing in the regional Fort Smith office, and that is what I will respond to. Lay-off notices have been given out to the four of the six employees that work in the regional office based in Fort Smith. The lay-off notices have been given to the administrative positions within that regional office as it stands now, in anticipation of establishment of delivery structures in the Deh

Cho, in the Dogrib Board and the South Slave and other Mackenzie areas, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
