Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have not had the opportunity to sit down with a group of employees whose positions would be considered for moving North. We have been working through a negotiator. In fact, Mr. Speaker, we are still negotiating the exact positions. Which ones? Because again, Ottawa says, well, a lot of positions provide services right across the North, so those would have to stay in Ottawa. These ones provide services specifically for the North. If I remember correctly, the number that we are looking at is somewhere between 15 and 50 people, roughly in that range that would be people who are designated as providing services directly to the North. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
