Thank you, Mr. Chair. On page 118 this is a revenue summary which is a grant-in-kind. Then on page 126 are grants, contributions, and transfers. So it's possible to have grants-in-kind that wouldn't be showing up as revenue. In the case of these ones for Executive, they just happen to, and that's why they're duplicated there. So in other departments you won't necessarily see them presented this way because that might be revenue that isn't a grant-in-kind. So I hope that's helpful. Thank you.

You can agree later on, right after I ask my questions. Thank you. I notice that there's four new positions in the different flowchart. That does not include new additional positions happening for the GSOs, is that correct?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. They are communications positions, so they're all located in Yellowknife. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I'm wondering, I see here that there is a plan to improve communications. I'm wondering if all four of those positions that are being created in the Executive are to support this open government plan or whether they have other duties as well? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. There was what we call the phase two functional review in the previous government, which identified we were very deficient in the amount of communications people that we had. They recommended that we increase our cadre of communications people. That was the rationale behind the increase. Certainly the more communications officers you have the more they can contribute to a more open transparent government. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Committee, please bear with me. I'm so used to speaking to one another on a first-name basis, so it takes me a little time with the last names again. With that, any further questions to page 119?

Thanks, Mr Chair. I'm glad you remembered my name. I just wanted to go back to the organizational chart for a second because I want to ask about the Public Utilities Board. I raised this previously as well. It shows that the Public Utilities Board reports to Ministers responsible with a solid line. It's sort of like they're underneath the Ministers responsible. I don't think that's the intention, but I understood that the Public Utilities Board was a quasi-judicial body and was really independent of the Executive. Maybe I can ask the witnesses to confirm that. Thanks, Mr Chair.
