Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, in some cases, in some of the positions there were a number of people who were actually in place who have asked to be laid off, taking their packages. There are some positions where we are combining two positions and trying to make them into one. In those cases, if there are two people in these positions, then both will apply for the position and one of them will probably be successful. Based on that, we are saying that by six people being negatively affected, they are in positions that, for example, we are looking at positions such as in Yellowknife, like a manager of a special project, assistant soils technician, administration officer, receptionist-secretary. In one case, a superintendent of highways is retiring; he is actually on a disability list and we are combining another position with that with another incumbent in there.

In other areas, we have a manager of maintenance management, an engineer project manager, a highways budget analyst, a data entry clerk, a heavy equipment operator, and an airfield maintenance specialist. These are the type of positions that are going to be affected. Thank you.
