Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It’s not really an elimination of positions in the regions. What this is, this was the regional superintendent/director training positions which are more like interns in their application. They had been showing up in the Department of Human Resources but they’re actually employees of other departments. So it was more appropriate to treat those positions more like the Intern Program. So the Intern Program doesn’t necessarily show all the positions in the Department of Human Resources. They show them where they exist. In this case those training positions continue to exist, they’re supernumerary, they’re extra, and it wasn’t appropriate to show them in the Department of Human Resources where they don’t actually work. But they still exist. Those positions have not disappeared. We are still facilitating the training of the regional director/superintendents as appropriate.
