Mr. Chairman, we are carrying a few more positions than we originally forecasted in our division plan. I would say the number is probably ten to 12 right now. We started out as a headquarters department with probably 20 some odd positions more than what we intended to go on with post-division. Some of these now, the numbers have been reduced largely because of moving individuals into new positions or some people have left the government and moved on into other positions themselves. We are down to about probably ten or 12 positions in the department as a whole. These positions are not a problem to us at the present time because, for the most part, we are still providing a significant number of services to Nunavut and are recovering the cost for carrying those positions from those service agreements. We are anticipating that, certainly for the next year, carrying the additional positions is not a problem for us.
