Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My advice is that it is a very comprehensive audit and everything is looked at.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Does that mean that every position that was staffed on a casual basis is looked at?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do not know if every casual position would be looked at. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just for clarification, that employment pool, is there one for every department or is there one over all pool for each community?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. At the community level, usually it is fairly straightforward about any jobs. They are posted right at the community level. Everybody in the community knows about it. In the bigger regions and the bigger communities, for example in Yellowknife, every department has their own. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The nine PYs in the personnel secretariat, I had asked the Premier for their work load, a question on that last day, I believe. I was wondering if the Premier has had an opportunity to gather that information yet?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Of the nine positions in the Division Review Secretariat, only one position is devoted solely to Nunavut issues. This is the Executive Director of the Nunavut Office located in Iqaluit, Mr. John Quirke. It is estimated that the remainder of the staff in the Division Review Secretariat spend equal amount of their time on the east and west division issues. To verify the percentage of work on east and west issues within the Secretariat, individual logs would have to maintained by each staff member on a daily basis over a period of time to make sure of the actual percentage of work. On the basis of amount of work undertaken by staff in the Division Secretariat, that action would be impractical and time consuming, deflecting from the time and effort required to work on substantive division issues, concerns in both the west and Nunavut. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Considering the fact that it does not seem like there is anybody doing anything for the west, I would like to know what those eight people are doing every day working on western division issues?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Those staff would be working on every issues that concerns the new western territory as well as Nunavut. It ranges from infrastructure issues to liabilities of this government, human resource planning, human resource of both new territories, what is going to be needed, breaking all those issues down so we can start getting that information to Members. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There was mention of Mr. Quirke in Iqaluit. Does he work alone?

I think the Premier said ... is Tommy Mr. Quirke's secretary?
