Thank you, Mr. Chair. As I explained, I’m not saying it’s right, either. I’m just saying that when positions were transferred into the amalgamated Department of HR, they weren’t fully funded. A lot of them were funded at 50 per cent; a lot of them were funded at 75 per cent. In order to fund some of the positions that were at the top of their pay level, we couldn’t afford to fill some of these positions, so they’re vacant positions with no funding attached to them.
