Thank you, Mr.
Chairman.
Nobody’s going to be surprised by my line of questioning. I’m looking at the list of positions. It’s
going from 72 down to 63. I believe in your opening statement you said there were 11 positions affected. This is nine, so there must have been some positions put back, if you can explain that to me?
Also, I’m curious about the process that the Department of Executive used to identify which positions would be eliminated, what criteria were used. You also indicated that…. I can’t remember the exact number you said were vacant in the department of the positions that you eliminated, but can you give me a bit of a sense of the numbers that are vacant and how many staff are actually impacted and whether there’s been any progress made on replacing those staff in other locations.
