Thank you, Mr. Chair. In 2012, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources undertook a program review, and through that process is where we had the recommendation to go down this road of creating crews that were five-man crews to four-man crews through that program review process. In anticipation of that and going forward with other jurisdictions in the country going to four-man crews as well, we managed our crew contingent with the expectation that was coming down the pipe. For an example, there was some of the communities where our five-man crews where there was permanent seasonal positions, if there was individuals that either resigned or the position became vacant we did not permanently staff those positions; we staffed them with casuals. The discussion with the communities in the regions, they were aware that we were going down this road. We also undertook an exercise where we reviewed with our contract partners the personnel contracts with those Aboriginal governments and through that exercise as well, they were informed that we would be going from five-man to four-man crews to be more effective, more efficient, and to allow us again to go from 28 to 35 crews. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
