Thank you, Mr. Chair. I believe it was 13thAssembly or 14thAssembly, it was a big priority of the government to transfer government positions to municipalities. The economic development department, or now ITI, we transferred quite a number of economic development officer positions to the municipalities. A lot of them, whatever money we had was what we transferred to the communities. So the EDOs were in the communities over quite a long time now. A lot of the communities had difficulties filling the positions because the funding wasn't at a high-enough level. So I think we have gone back at least two or three times to get additional funding. I think these are what these positions are. So not only does the government have economic development officer positions, communities have economic development positions. So whenever we can, we bring everybody together, even though they are not all government economic development officer positions. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
