Could the deputy minister state exactly where these increases were? Were they at headquarters or in the different regional centres?

No, I am afraid I cannot, Mr. Chairman. I do not have last year's data with me, other than last year's percentages.

Does the deputy minister have any idea of what level these positions were? Were they at the lower level, were they middle or senior management?

No, Mr. Chairman, I do not have that. I can tell you that there was a slight increase in priority groups, which is aboriginal, long-term residents and women. That increased slightly from 37 percent to 38 percent.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just have a question on the North Slave and headquarters. I am not aware of any offices you have in the rest of the region other than Yellowknife. How do you separate headquarters from North Slave?

Mr. Chairman, it is my understanding that we have no stable office here in Yellowknife.

Mr. Chairman, why would you have a North Slave office in headquarters, if headquarters is in Yellowknife?

Mr. Chairman, the majority of the work we do is in Yellowknife, for everything in the area of North Slave and Yellowknife. We do not have a large enough workload in the North Slave communities to justify a separate office there. We run that out of the Yellowknife office.
