Thank you, Madam Chair. I believe the reason the number didn’t add up is because we have a net change of 49 new positions in the system in these main estimates, but there are more new positions and then some positions have been lost or sunset, so it’s not a straight exchange, and although there are a number of new positions in Yellowknife there are also 23 new positions in other communities as well. Every new position that’s added to the system, we make every effort to look at whether it needs to be in Yellowknife. For example, some of the back office functions like the coordinators for the electronic medical records and the coordinators for our new Information Systems Centre are located in Hay River. Unfortunately, when positions go to Stanton, as the Minister noted, that’s a territorial facility, they are located in Yellowknife.
