Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That sounds good. I am hoping that we are then going to realize that since that is the department's intention, we are not just talking about 74 jobs here. Since it is the intention to get funding in the mains for the rest of the summer, we might as well let out contracts for 500 jobs, or some number higher than 74, because I think that is just a drop in the bucket of what we really need.

Since we are going for the funding in the mains anyway, I just think that we let out the same number of contracts that we have in years past with the understanding that the funding will be made available in the mains. There are many other year-long contracts, many other contracts in this interim that extend over a length of time greater than the interim, and we commit to that. It is just understood that money will be there in the mains to follow up.

We certainly do not expect to hire a consultant who might have a year long contract and tell them that this is the amount of money for you in the interim. We cannot tell you what is going to happen half way through a project when we get to the mains. You will have to come and talk to us then. I think that is the same approach we are taking with the students.

The department has to be a little more upfront in saying we are going to take care of the students. We are not just going to stick to the number of 74, or whatever the $150,000 justifies, and commit to contracts for the duration of the summer. Thank you.
