Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the department was waiting to staff up to full maximums in the Nunavut region based on the hiring of the deputy ministers for Nunavut which I think has been made public and is now in place. Has the department looked at using slippage monies to fund other positions not identified? For example, if you have not filled certain positions, could you reallocate that money for EDO positions, for economic development officers, in communities. I know in several Nunavut communities we have been requesting EDO and EDO support and we have not been able to identify dollars for specific communities. Have you been looking for something like that or would you commit to having a chance to look at reallocating funds within slippage of personnel dollars to maybe staff up EDO positions in communities? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
