Thank you, Mr. Chair. The positions that are dedicated to the devolution office include an expert policy advisor, a project officer, devolution communications officer, the executive director of implementation, a devolution project leader, an HR implementation leader, water management planning and implementation leader and the departmental devolution lead. I should have said there are two expert policy advisor positions there.

On this page I counted nine, if I was counting accurately there. So in Yellowknife, headquarters, I think you said there were seven other departments of the 13, for example, in Yellowknife and the rest are what are dedicated to this office. Thank you.

I’m sorry; I didn’t quite complete my list. Also, that was the implementation planning side and on the negotiations planning side, we have our chief negotiator, two assistant negotiators and another policy advisor. Thank you.

I came up with that, 13. Is there overlap with the office of the secretary to Cabinet positions?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a couple of questions here and both of these items have been referred to in opening remarks but I want to follow up at this point. The program review office, I know from previous information that we have been advised that they are developing a work plan. I noted the other day when Mr. Ramsay was speaking that he indicated that the program review office was looking at the Business Development Investment Corporation. The last information I think that we had was that committee would be asked for input into the work of the program review office. Is BDIC on the list of the work plan for the program review office in 2012-2013?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That was a request from the last government that the PRO is working on. The request is still out there. I don’t know if we’ve had any feedback from committee as to what areas they would want to see covered.
