Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Yes, the location of the new positions, we looked very hard and very long of where we locate the new positions, and what we are doing here is we are reflecting, as a service provider for other departments when it comes to hiring, when it comes to managing the terms of employment, and when it comes to ensuring a workable, functional organizational design. We needed to establish these five new positions as part of devolution. With a number of the positions coming to Yellowknife, because that’s the commitment that was made in the Devolution Final Agreement, to keep positions where they were located, we then had to respond to be able to support positions with the staffing that will need to go on now and in the future where the new positions are located elsewhere in the public service.
