Mr. Speaker, there are 46 full-time positions vacant at this time. Some of these are being advertised and filled at this time. I cannot give the specifics but there is always a turnover, people transferring, promotions being made, so the vacancy rate is probably around the point where a department this size, it would always be about that level. We are trying to fill some of those positions as best we can. We have for instance, four vacancies in the Baffin, five in the Beaufort Delta, about three in the Deh Cho; in forest management there are five positions that need to be filled. We do have quite a bit of work to do in the oil and gas sector. Out of the Yellowknife positions, there are four that need to be filled in the policy and legislation division. We have three, again all Yellowknife, and the community economic development services again in Yellowknife, four. There are 12 positions that need to be filled in those areas, an additional three in fish and wildlife. A good number of these are in the headquarters level. There are about 15 that are vacant positions currently in Yellowknife. We are trying to fill them. In the Keewatin there are four, Kitikmeot two, in the North Slave which is the regional office here there are five full-time positions and two which need to be filled. In Iqaluit, there are five positions that need to be filled. As to what we are currently doing to each of those specific positions, I do not have the details but I would be prepared to get them and share it with the Members. Thank you.
