Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I am concerned. When you look at all of the departments and the government, I see FMBS coming forward with 22 percent forced growth, followed closely on its heels by the Executive, as we discussed in this House, with 18 percent. Of course, third in line is another headquarters operation, Aboriginal Affairs.

At the same time, I know the layoff policy from the 13th Assembly is no longer legally on the books, but it exists in some sort of form. There are about 50 to 60 PYs sitting in government as a result of the layoff policy, but there is no sign of interdepartmental coordination where you come forward as a government for new positions. But at the same time you know you have staff sitting there.

Has there been any kind of human resource survey that would allow you to reallocate positions, rather than keep these positions stacked 50 to 60, five to six million dollars worth of positions and at the same time coming forward to ask for some more?

I see no sense of interdepartmental communication or how you are looking at this as a government. That is the concern I have because there has been nothing but cuts in the regions and communities. Nothing but cuts. There are a thousand good reasons to put more jobs in Yellowknife but there is not one good reason to have this government putting jobs back into the communities yet.
