Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, once again under fiscal policy, the reduction of $16,000 means delaying the hiring of a staff position, except I don't know how you get anybody for $16,000, but anyway. The impact is that it will be a reduced or delayed research for formula financing and/or devolution. So I'd like to ask the Minister... I don't believe that fiscal policy section is a very big section of the department, and the Finance department is small to start with. So I'd like to know what is the current complement of staff there, and is this a new vacant position? It says here there will be a delay in hiring of a staff position. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
