Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the time that we came forward with the business plan and the main estimates, we had identified four positions. Since that time, we have had some natural attrition. The only position that has actually been eliminated is the director position. We had the incumbent retire, and with the amalgamation, we only need one director.
The other positions that were identified were of a policy or communications nature, but due to attrition, we have not had to affect any employees or eliminate any positions. We are taking this time because we have met the fiscal responsibility of reducing the budget. We are taking this time to do an assessment of the upcoming workload and the capacity of the staff that we do have within not only corporate services but also within the department to respond to the upcoming priorities and initiatives. When we are settled and we have finished our functional review, we will come back to Cabinet with an information item to address the FTE changes to reflect how we actually land; but at this point in time, Mr. Chair, we have actually only reduced one FTE. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
