Is this a forgivable grant where basically it does not have to be paid back? What is the purpose of the grant and what is it going to be used for?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The grant is a grant in kind. When we entered into an arrangement to lease Northern United Place for Arctic College, we had to find an alternative location for the YWCA which provided emergency housing for the community of Yellowknife. The only alternative available to us within the resources we had was to use the Rock Hill Apartment Building that was being used at the time for Arctic College student housing. We transferred the students out of Rock Hill and into Northern United Place. Now it is being used for emergency housing by the YWCA. Rather than charging them -- because we do not charge them rent -- we simply require them to pay the utilities, we have to declare the value of potential rent as a grant in kind. That is what the $260,000 is for.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to know exactly, and I have asked this question to every department in regard to the affirmative action positions with regard to reductions in these different departments. Could the department tell me what the status of this department is, when it comes to P1, P2 and P3 positions?
