Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As we indicated many times in this House, decentralization is a priority for this government. We’re approaching it in three phases. We’re just very close to completing the first phase, which was to review all our programs and services to see what programs could be developed. We also undertook an inventory of available housing and available office space and made the commitment that we would start decentralization right away as part of a 2013-2014 business plan.

Of the 18 positions, 14 are new positions that have been created through reallocations and those will be going to the regions. We also have four that are existing positions that will be moved out. I just have to make sure that we have to take care of the human resources side of it, so I have to make sure

those people that will be affected have been notified. It also has to be approved yet in this House and it is in the main estimates, so you will be able to discuss it in the review of the appropriate departments.
