Thank you. I just realized this could be the last appearance of Mr. Voytilla in this House. I shouldn't say that, but it's not...Sorry, I just lost my train of thought. I just meant to say that I think I'm going to miss him when he's not around. Could I just ask him about...I wasn't sure exactly how much this government is, because it's been budgeted differently, I understand. I understand that we're being reimbursed and there's no extra cost, but do we foresee any changes to that that might have bearing on our costs?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the way it's rolled into our formula now, we won't have a direct impact in the sense of this program changing. What will possibly impact it is our formula and our relationship with the federal government on that side of it. Thank you.

So this is completely rolled into our funding from the federal government. Why is that? Why is that all rolled in there? Why can't we budget them separately and negotiate them? Why is that part of the transfer? Is that what I'm hearing? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, when this issue first came up, the superannuation contribution used to be a different line item and we used to get that payment through another source from the federal government. We felt that as long as it stayed out on its own, it was a fairly easy target for changes for funding from the federal government, so being rolled into one felt it was somewhat more secure there. That's why it's been rolled into the general transfer that we get from the federal government. Thank you.

Thank you. The last question there. So what is the dollar amount that constitutes and what is the dollar amount we're talking about that we're getting from the federal government for this program? I think that will be my last question there. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, when this was rolled into the general transfer we get from the federal government we were, it was in the neighbourhood of $13 million.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wanted to ask the Minister in terms of more of a confirming the positions of information system or the information management positions that will be located in this directive and ask about the duties that will be associated with these positions. Do these positions have any merit to have two extra positions here in this type of work here? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. These are two positions that we are going to make available government-wide to work with departments on developing strategic information plans for the departments, to work with departments on major information systems projects. So they're going to be a resource that is available to departments to help them improve their planning and their project management with respect to information systems.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, these two positions are going to help with the information and major projects. Specifically, is this a place to ask, Mr. Chairman, in terms of the procurement of contracts in terms of gathering information or is there another place where I could ask this question? I just want to try to get a question here, Mr. Chairman, on this issue here. Thank you.
