I guess I’m having difficulty with the Minister’s answers to these questions. It makes sense to expand offices that you currently have, it makes sense to be in the areas where the offices are and I know, from the rest of the departments and the other expenses to devolution, that the Beaufort-Delta experienced a lot of positions. So I guess I’m having a tough time swallowing what the Minister is giving us for an answer and what the government’s given us for an answer on the decentralization and equalization, it’s in a different region. So I’m wondering if the department has done an evaluation of what the costs are to have people in the Beaufort-Delta as opposed to other regions, and I’m assuming some of these nine people are going to have to travel down to the Sahtu versus coming up from the South Slave.
