Thank you, Mr. Chair. That would be a difficult question to answer because it's a community-based application and it varies year to year. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. When does the department think the estimates where they have a lot of history here with the amount of applications that they've been receiving in the past, what was it last year? Thank you.

Thank you, Minister. Mr. McNeely. Nothing further from Mr. McNeely. Any more discussion on page 414? Seeing none, we'll move to page 415, active positions under corporate management. No comments or questions on page 415? We can return to the activity total on page 413, operations expenditure summary, comments or questions, page 413? I'll give committee a moment. Seeing nothing, I'll call the page, Transportation, corporate management, operations expenditure summary, activity total $11,970,000. Agreed?

Thank you, Mr. Thompson. And just for the, I guess, clarity in Hansard and for the ease of the tech, people, audio techs, if you have no more questions, just state it when the red light comes on. Thank you to all the Members. Do we have comments or questions on page 419, highways, active positions? Mr. Thompson.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In regards to headquarters, the 26 positions, I've asked this question previously and I still haven't seen the information. How many engineers do we have within this department? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the Minister saying he's going to be back to me with it because I still haven't got it. So I'm just wondering in regards to the engineer's position, is there dual roles or do we need an engineer to check culverts and that's all they do and engineers check the highways. Do they have dual responsibilities? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
