Mr. Chairman, the money has decreased. Part of that is because of decreasing support from the federal government. We have not had an economic development agreement since 1996. Over the past few years, there has also been pressure to transfer positions to the communities and they work for community governments. There have been a number. I do not have the exact number offhand, but there have been a number of positions transferred out of the department and are now working for hamlets, municipalities and so on.
The other initiative that we are undertaking this year is to combine our community economic development services division and our trade and investment sections. It will be five or six positions smaller during this coming fiscal year. Yes, there has been a gradual decline in a number of employees we have in the trade and investment, economic support side. Thank you.
