Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just indicated that I am interested in the type of position that was filled, meaning senior management, middle management, that type of thing. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My colleague from Inuvik raised an interesting point in regards to the grants and contributions especially in relation to the Minister's initial comment that the $8 million increase reflected the transfer of positions to the health boards from the department. When they are doing the reconciliation they indicated that they would do, I would ask that they also keep in mind that there was an accompanying $12 million increase to grants and contributions to community programs and services which is where I would assume the money for the transfer to health boards would have gone, not into support for the health administration. The funding for board and managements is under the next activity. It is a confusing issue, especially with the kind of information we have at our fingertips, to try and sort that out.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I am having the same type of problems sorting out just where my question would apply, regarding the regional health boards. I wonder if it is appropriate for me to ask here, what is the amount of funding given to the Nunavut region health board?

Mr. Chairman, I presume that is social services for the Inuvik regional health board? Is it going to be reflected in the $24 million?
