It just seems a little strange. I believe there are other departments that are setting up shop well before April 1, 1999. I am wondering if that is the best planning that the Executive has, that they do not know at this stage whether they are going to have a second board set up. I believe they know they are going to have a second board set up, but they do not know when or where the money is coming from. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is all part of the planning and transitional costs and the planning and transition for the creation of two new territories. The Member should be well aware of that. Hopefully, if everything comes into place on the creation of the two new territories, this board will be set up prior to April 1, 1999 and in place. I am not going to sit here and say it will happen guaranteed because I am not too sure of that. We will try our best.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My question is in regard to the 39 percent increase in O and M. Could you tell us why there is $100,000 increase in that part of the budget?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There were four positions and we eliminated two positions and we moved the money to contract positions. If they are needed there will be $39,000 available for contract positions, 39 percent increase.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. You said if they are needed. Basically, there are used on an as and when needed basis in regard to when there are public hearings or what is the purpose of these short-term contracts?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That is for when there are rate reviews, public hearings, consultants providing advice prior to those rate reviews, issues such as this, such as, on an as-and-when needed basis, instead of having full-time people there. You do not need full-time people. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There is $41,000 less in salaries, and I think that the Premier said that would be used if needed for contracts. How many people are employed full-time or part-time in the $138,000.
