Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I’m in support of the motion that’s before us. I think the Minister made some good points about the possibility of a training program to try to fill these two positions. I understand they’re half-time positions, one in Paulatuk and one in Sachs Harbour. That would be, to me, an indication that we perhaps should keep the money where it is. I know the positions are vacant right now, but these are fairly new positions, if I can remember — last year, in fact, they were created. I do support the motion. I think the money should stay there. These are positions, I think, that even on a half-time basis will be beneficial. Both communities, I think, could use a renewable resource officer and the training that would go along with that position, as well. I’m in support of the reinstatement of that money. Mahsi.
