Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am supporting the motion. This matter was discussed extensively by the Resource Management Committee and it was felt that the cuts that had taken place last year, both financially and personnel wise, and the cuts that are taking place this year, financially and personnel wise, have reduced this particular department's ability to operate tremendously and yet, no programs have been eliminated or reduced. It is my feeling that the department is going too far in reducing its personnel numbers and, as a result, it is my feeling that programs could be effected as a result of it. Therefore, I am supporting the motion to retain the 14.5 positions. Thank you.
