Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I respect the thoughts of my colleagues on this, and I know that it's important money, but the point I'm trying to make is that I believe that government has the resources in-house to carry this work out and not come back in a supp looking for more. The Minister said that this was a part-time position, but the information I was provided says it's a full-time position. The $40,000 that's going toward program administration, Mr. Chairman, is good until the end of March and this position is supposed to be funded...I don't know how the work can get done between now and the end of March. That's just not going to happen. I don't see how all that work could get done in that short of a time frame.

I'd be interested to know if indeed this is a full-time position or a part-time position. I can agree with the Minister that the $58,000 and the $10,000 communication money is something that I might be able to agree with, Mr. Chairman, but it's the position that I take issue with. When we have 4,400 employees, I find it hard to believe that we can't find one that we could slide in here and get them

some training and get them up to speed on community issues. That's my take on it, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
