Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, if we feel the newly-created positions in the department cannot be filled or taken on by the current staff within the community, we will look to bring, in the first instance, affected employees from other regions who we feel can do it. That has been our approach in this case. I think it drives the very critical point as well that we think people have to be prepared to move where the jobs are. We cannot always bring the jobs to the people. We cannot organize a department around where people would prefer to live. There are careers in the government and it very often means having to enjoy a certain amount of mobility in the course of your career. Thank you.
