I ask that question again. I guess this is the right page for it. I notice in here we have gone from 13 to 18 increase of positions, and they said three were moved from the Executive but that is still two additional more positions. Could you explain this difference? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. The additional positions would be three strategic communications advisors with the communications functional review and also the internal transfer of the parties and planning analyst. Two of them and one board registrar with the reduction of one Cabinet analyst.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. With my colleague, I just wanted to distinguish right now in terms of positions of the regional allocations, this is an additional four. I want to know, just to be clear, which of those positions are situated either in the Deh Cho or the Nahendeh?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Maybe I can be corrected in the presentation of the positions. Perhaps we could maybe see a breakdown, a distinction, between Deh Cho and Nahendeh. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We will see if we can change it so that these positions are identified by constituency rather than by region. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
