Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I know we had given up many advertising dollars because we cannot afford to put advertisements in every paper, for every job. If a job is of a senior management level, where you are working with east and west, then it would be advertised in that newspaper out of Iqaluit, I forget the name of it...

Nunatsiaq News and the News of the North. It would be advertised in those , as well as the Drum, and all those other ones. If a job is specifically, for example, in Fort Simpson, then it would be advertised in the Fort Simpson paper, or Fort Smith, if it is there, then it would be advertised in that paper. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Are jobs posted with the employment services, employment offices of Employment Canada in the various centres and, secondly, does the government have a central advertising means, such as over the computer system?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I believe yesterday the Premier had indicated that the Secretariat's management area budget was about a million dollars. Was there casuals in that area last year?
