Thank you, Madam Chair. The budget before you right now doesn't show any cuts to positions like the one the Member is referring to. This cut may have happened in the previous year and it would have been a result of vote 4/5 funding being reduced through the official languages agreement with Canada. Those positions that were reduced were 100 per cent funded by Canada and were not cost shared by this government. So it isn't a reduction that falls under this budget. There is no reduction planned under this budget for that type of position.
