Thank you, Mr. Chair. There were a couple of reasons. First of all, some job descriptions were rewritten in Yellowknife to actually accommodate the support for this. They were more in line with the position. The position in Hay River did not align properly with this position. There were different categories. The other thing, one of the biggest reasons for moving it to Yellowknife was on, I believe, three recommendations or three requests from the NWT Association of Teachers who, as Ms. Haener had pointed out earlier, when people get higher education or training and things, their length of terms, their salaries increase. Timeliness was a huge issue with only having the one position. The Association of Teachers has asked us numerous times to actually be located where they are located so that they can actually have more timely responses and access to that position. It's critical for their work to support their teachers, and it was critical to have the appropriate support for that individual. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
