Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I was wondering if there had been any new people hired in the human resources area since the last budget?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just wanted to indicate that I have to ask this question every time we get to a new area, because I had tried to get this information when the Premier was up so he could do the overall, but he indicated that it would be better to get it from each department. So I will have to spend a considerable amount of time, every time we get to a new department, trying to find out whether there have been new people added and whether those people were from the Personnel Secretariat. However, since there were no new people added, at this time I have no more questions in this area. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask the department a few more questions regarding the project that was taken over by DPW in Rankin Inlet. Mr. Chairman, going through the department's budget, both DPW and Transportation, the projects are identified along with the
personnel that carried out these projects. I find it confusing as to why one department would have to find it necessary to take on the responsibilities of another department. We are not just talking about taking on the work. DPW actually tendered that contract. My question to the Minister is, was it shortage of personnel? What was the reason that DPW had to do this job for Transportation?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Department of Transportation gets into road construction and so forth. In that area, the department continues to do the projects themselves and in areas where we are dealing with buildings, the Department of Public Works and Services has their mandate to do those projects. In these cases, the Department of Public Works and Services take on the building, and that is probably what the honourable Member is making reference to. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, I believe the contract that was tendered stated that it was for parking lights facilities, it was for snow fencing, et cetera. Now these are not part of buildings. This is part of the Department of Transportation's responsibilities in regards to airports. Again, I ask the Minister if he could give me an explanation as to why DPW has taken on Transportation responsibilities?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, in this case the Department of Public Works and Services does certain different projects on behalf of the Department of Transportation because it is their mandate. In this case, as building. In some cases there are other projects where we do not have the resources, then we have the Department of Public Works and Services do this type of project for us. We need to know exactly which project it is, so that we could get the right type of information for the honourable Member. Thank you.
