Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We will be prepared to provide to the House for the Clerk a breakdown of the statistics of our affirmative action employees in all of the facilities which spell out in detail the number of indigenous aboriginal employees, women in management, disabled and others who are under the affirmative action policy. We would be pleased to give that to the House, perhaps by tomorrow.
On the personnel staffing person at the Baffin Correctional Centre or any other centre, as I had told the House a couple times today, the Department of Justice is as cash strapped or in some cases more so than any other department. That is the reason why we were able to justify and be approved of the rebasing which I am sure the department appreciates. It still falls short of what we know is needed in there. If we were to make the decision to put a staffing-type person at BCC for example that would mean taking an equivalent amount of dollars from somewhere else. Now, that decision if made, would of course have an effect somewhere else.
The other thing that is happening at least in Nunavut is that we have division occurring in 400 days. There are plans under the Footprints 2 model for a Department of Justice with details for staffing, et cetera. Members may or may not know the person on my right, Ms. Sanders, will be the deputy minister of Justice for Nunavut.

The GNWT is losing a good person, while Nunavut gains one. I should point out again the Interim Commissioner's office does have to be quite involved now and can consult with any of these changes in Nunavut. Thank you.
