Thank you, Madam Chair. The two positions that are in question in Human Resources have existed. This is an internal reallocation of funding to account how they’re paid for, and the positions have been re-described, so the bottom line of the Department of Human Resources has not been changed. They’re not asking for money; they’re just reflecting that particular change. We could have waited and done it in the business plans and just put it in there as an organizational change, part of the internal workings and business of the department, but it was brought forward this way so it was clear and visible.
The ENR piece, the fixed-wing and rotary wing contracts are for a short time period. By the time we get into the main estimates the fire season will be probably in full swing. These are all short-term, important contracts and it’s front-end loaded because that’s when fire season is.
I’ll ask the Minister of Human Resources if he wants to add anything further to the positions question.
