Thank you, Madam Chair. We are committed as a government, not just as a department, to getting positions decentralized where appropriate, and in the Public Works and Services we did create one new position and we located it in Hay River.

With respect to the Sahtu and Public Works and Services, the Sahtu is actually administered out of our Inuvik office, and we do have employees in Public Works and Services in the Sahtu and we’ll continue to do that. As work increases, we may find that we’re in a position where we have to consider additional resources in the Sahtu, but right now the requirements for deferred maintenance, the requirement for the build with respect to the new health centre and long-term care facility, those are being dealt with by our regional office in Inuvik.
