Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just want to comment on what the witness was saying in her statement. I appreciate where the witness is coming from on this point. I do think that a healthy tension between elected bodies, whether they be school boards or Members or municipal governments, perhaps having a different opinion on how policies are implemented or rolling out, I think that is not confusing the issues. I think what was confusing the issue was who is paying for what, the role of the consultants' report, the role of the standing committee, how much information was being shared, whether the department was open to hearing the concerns; those are all the kinds of questions.
I don't want to belabour this too much, because I know some of this ultimately rests on the Minister as the one who is accountable for this. I just think that we have a lot of work to do on, whatever the department or the government as a whole is proposing, that that proposition be put clearly to the public in a way that is easy to understand and easy to absorb. If people disagree with that, that is fine. Just make sure they are disagreeing with the merits or with the policy in itself and all that information is available.
My question is: how many communications staff positions are within the department? Thank you.
