Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a return to an oral question asked by Mr. Ootes, the status of personnel secretariat. On October 3, 1997 Mr. Ootes asked how many individuals and how many positions were left in the personnel secretariat. There are eight positions in the personnel secretariat, of these eight positions, two are currently vacant, six are staff. Two of the six staff are on transfer assignment and one of the staff is on leave prior to retirement. Thank you.
