Mr. Chairman, absolutely. I think

that’s what I’ve been saying. Once again, there are 17 positions impacted in the Department of Health and Social Services. It’s all in the department, not in the authorities. Out of 17, nine positions were vacant, which means there are no active bodies impacted there. Out of those impacted 17 positions…. In six positions there were incumbents there, and most of them have been reassigned

or

they have places to go.

We looked at whether there were vacant positions, whether any of those positions could be rewritten or re-profiled so it did not impact the program, delivery and services and, most importantly for me, we did not impact the front line. I feel very strongly about this, because I believe the department officials have done a really great job of minimizing the impact wherever possible under the circumstances. I believe this was done in a way the Members had been saying it should be done.
