Madam Chair, on page 8-39, I would like to pursue a little bit more detail. Madam Chair, the information presented on this page details the funding that is provided to the one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine different education authorities plus the Western Arctic Leadership Program in Fort Smith. It details the number of funded positions.
Madam Chair, we note that our allocated positions for this current year are 1,051 jobs among those authorities and that is increasing to 1,077. That's 26 new positions. The information for each agency or council or authority is before us in terms of where they are going, but I was wondering if the Minister could give us any kind of comment about what is driving these increases in staff. I am wondering if there is a trend here. Are we seeing more positions created for administration or classroom assistants or specialties? Just what is the driver here for the 26 new positions that we're funding, Madam Chair? Which, by the way, are adding $12 million onto the allocation here.
