Thank you, Chair. With regard to

the graphics design/communication specialist, we looked at the entire staff we have in the communications division, which is four full-time positions. We looked at the current duties of all four of those positions, and the specific duties of this position, to see if we could rewrite the job descriptions of any of those people to optimize the amount of work we could get out of each one of those positions, and subsequently reduce from four to three.

With regard to the To Be Determined positions…. During the reduction exercise we were also contemplating a realignment of the Department of Health and Social Services to make it easier for us to determine which positions could be eliminated without impacting the front line and the service to the authorities too much.

In that context, we have

done the initial phase of

that realignment but haven’t completed it. We did actually identify two positions we thought could be removed, but we haven’t made a final determination about that, because we haven’t completed the realignment of the department.
