Mr. Speaker, I'm sorry. The positions on this board are all part-time positions. We have one staff person that supports this board. The nature of the work is very technical, very time consuming. We need people who have the abilities to be able to analyze the applications that come forward, to know the act and they have to be very well versed of what is required in their duties. In this case, we have two people who are currently residing out of the Northwest Territories; however, they have a lot of experience. They spent many years on the board. They know how the board functions. They have indicated that we will work with the two new members. I have to point out, Mr. Speaker, that we did appoint two new members to the board in the last 10 months and they require some assistance while working through the transition period.

We will review. It's a difficult request that is being placed forward. At times, people move, retire and change where they live. We have to be able to accommodate that without leaving a void if somebody has to resign because

they no longer reside in the Territories, but we will consider that. Thank you.
