Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wanted to speak to this, pose a question on this. This was, of course, contemplated in the consideration of the supplementary appropriation coming forward. I think we’re missing the point of the question here. We have business plans. We plan. These are two high-level positions within the Department of Human Resources and this is being turned around to make it sound like, you know, we don’t think that Human Resources performs a valid function within the government or that the employees of Human Resources are not doing a good job. There is a norm in terms of a planning process, through business plans, when normally high-level positions such as this in any department would be brought forward. What we’re saying is it’s strange and it’s an anomaly that four years has gone by and these positions have remained unfunded. I think that’s the crux of the question. That’s the question I’ll ask again. Why did these two high-level positions within the department go unfunded and funded from within instead of going through what we understand to be the normal practice of being approved through a process such as business plans? Thank you.
