Yes, Mr. Speaker. I just want to draw attention to the Member, again, to what I said. There are 73 vacant positions. Of those 73 there are some 20 odd vacancies which is sort of normal, I would say, for a department of this size. Of the 73 that are currently vacant, about 52 of them we had thought, could potentially be filled by affected employees, but in fact there are 52 employees who have requested and have chosen voluntary layoff. So, that is what led us to have the 73 vacant positions at this time. We are in position now to get into staffing. Most of our jobs, the newer jobs created as a result of amalgamation, have been detailed. They have gone through the process of having the proper job descriptions, terms of reference and all the necessary paperwork done in order for them to be advertised. We will be advertising them over the next few weeks. The information that the Member has requested, I think is available, and we will provide it to the Member. Thank you.
