Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm going to get off the topic of the BIP here and change gears a little bit.

I'm sure that will come as some relief to the guys across the way. I want to ask the Minister responsible for the Audit Bureau a few questions and that pertains to a letter I received from them with regard to vacancies in the division. I've done a little bit more research on that, and I see that there are six vacancies in the Audit Bureau, out of 14 possible positions in that division. I'm just wondering, Mr. Speaker, if I could ask the Minister why these positions in some cases have been vacant for over 36 months. Mr. Speaker, that's three years. If they haven't been filled for three years, my concern is what's happening with the funding that's going into that division for these positions. Forty-four percent of the positions in the Audit Bureau are vacant today. Mr. Speaker, I'm asking the Minister what is happening with the funding that's going into the Audit Bureau if these positions are vacant in some cases for up to three years? Thank you.
