Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would just like to go back to the regional librarian positions with a few more questions I did not have a chance to ask the Minister. I guess we should back up and look at the history of the regional librarian positions. The positions were created because there was a need in the regions for a provider and co-ordinator of all the services that could not be offered by community libraries. The library headquarters in Hay River could not meet the needs adequately both due to distance and not knowing the communities intimately. My question to the Minister is who will provide that co-ordination? He had said it was going to be the superintendents of ECE. I think the superintendents for ECE are quite busy, as demonstrated by their meeting here this week. Is there going to be extra funding available in the department of ECE to provide the ongoing support to the community libraries that the regional librarian was supporting?
