Yes. Thanks, Madam Chair. I was in the last Assembly, and one of the reasons why they were being amalgamated was basically a cost-cutting, cost-saving exercise. Some people did lose their jobs, and I know there were efforts made to try to retain people through whatever the name of that policy is that GNWT has. There were less people working for Infrastructure than there was for the two separate departments. I'm just trying to square that with adding more money into the budget two or three years later to try to rectify this. It just doesn't seem to make any sense to me. Maybe someone can take another run at it. Thanks, Madam Chair.
