Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Going back to a question that was asked earlier with respect to the advertising policy, Mr. Erasmus asked if it could be possible for a position only to be advertised once and the Premier answered that in the affirmative. I want to know if that once could possibly be in a southern newspaper in any instance? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I was also wondering with the change in the Department of Personnel, I was wondering if the Premier could describe for us briefly, what the appeal process is if you apply for a job with a certain department and are unsatisfied with the way in which your application or your interview whatever is handled or how the job is awarded. What is the appeal process?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If a person is not satisfied with the outcome of a staffing position, then they have the right to appeal it to the appeal board and then the department is involved, that person as well as the union. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Premier mentioned the details of the amount allocated to the Personnel Secretariat and I believe I heard him say that for contract services in the neighbourhood of 400 and some thousand dollars. I wonder if we could get an idea what the contract services are for.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Audits and compliance tests as staff audits and compliance audits. The secretary will conduct regular audits of department staff and activities while there will be frequent, at first, those annual audits will be sufficient after the first year. So the majority of that is to be done when you have staffing audits and compliance audits. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Morin. Is that a breakdown of the total figure that Mr. Ootes asked. Mr. Ootes, could you repeat your question?

I wanted to know what areas are, we have four hundred and some thousand dollars for contract services and now that the Premier has made a statement on that, I read his reply to be that it is strictly for audit services. Am I correct on that?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. These dollars are not only for compliance and staffing audits, but they are for training practitioners and managers, coordination of lay offs in some cases, which is a fairly huge job, and special reviews if they are called into special reviews and as well as provisions of advice and guidance to departments. In 97-98, that fiscal year there will be an increased focus on the funds that will be required, especially for training and conducting compliance audits and coordinating of lay offs. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In the Division Review Secretariat, the Premier had indicated there are nine people working there. What is the budget for that Secretariat?
