Madam Chair, the position was one PY in the language bureau based in Iqaluit, which was the French translation position for the entire Nunavut region. As the Minister is aware, we have a large French population in Iqaluit. That is the position that I am speaking about. I also understand, Madam Chair, that that position is paid for by and cost shared with the federal government through the French language and language enhancement program of the federal government, which is a cost-shared program between the GNWT and the federal government. Therefore, I don't see why this PY was eliminated.
