Thank you, Madam Chair. In just about all cases where we are interviewing to fill a certain position, there are local people that assist in the hiring, the screening and the interview process. There are local people involved in the hiring committee, so it is not just the department. From our side, usually we have, depending on the level of position being filled or being interviewed for, perhaps right up to the deputy minister involved in the process. I should point out again, it is true that there are some people who have done jobs in Economic, Development and Tourism in the past, or who have done a great job in Renewable Resources, all of a sudden now have to function with both responsibilities that were solely confined to Renewable Resources previously, now have to deal with Economic Development and Tourism responsibilities as well. In some cases, they have admitted they do not feel they are able to cope or deal with it. In some cases, it has not been a difficulty. In some cases, it has been seen by the hiring committees to be a major difficulty. Thank you.
