Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the savings to this government of those two positions is about $70,000, but the cost to this government by laying off these two positions will be a lot more. I do not think you can put a price tag on that type of information and the support they have been giving the communities. It is not just my concern, Mr. Chairman. We have had petitions coming in from outside of Iqaluit, you have had them come in from Pond, you have had them from Igloolik, you have had them from Arctic Bay, you have had them from Clyde River, you have had them from other communities. It is a budget issue, Mr. Todd, thank you. I am trying to get on with the budget. I think it is a legitimate question, Mr. Todd. Is he trying to debate me or am I asking questions to the Minister of Education?
