Thank you, Madam Chair. Right now in our devolution division we have four positions, two of which are filled, two of which are vacant. We have an executive director that leads the division and we have an assistant negotiator, a devolution negotiator and an expert policy advisor. I should advise that we approach devolution now on a government-wide basis. We work with a deputy minister level committee on devolution. Several departments have positions that deal with devolution and we coordinate all of the different functions. When devolution negotiations were going full boar, we had a number of committees, interdepartmental committees, all dealing with different aspects of devolution ranging from human resources, programs side, the actual facilities, the lands, all of the different IT equipment that had to be made available. So it's quite a coordinating function that they do. The executive director is the lead to make sure all of these different events are coordinated. The devolution negotiator works very closely with our contract negotiator in doing the actual negotiations. The assistant negotiator and expert policy advisor do a lot of the background work and we also have to make sure that the devolution deputies are updated, as well as Cabinet. Thank you.
