Mr. Speaker, this is also an issue that was raised with the Minister of DIAND when we met with him at the end of January. He has continually assured us that as the federal government determines what its needs are in terms of human resource capacity, that he would move those positions north. When we met with him in January, he confirmed that is still his intention. Some of the positions will be DIAND positions, some will be with other federal departments. For example, it could be within NRCAN, Natural Resources Canada, or it could be with environment or with industry. He did say he would have to speak with his colleagues on the federal Cabinet to determine whether all or some or how many would come north. Thank you.
