Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I've heard quite a number of numbers and dates coming out of the Member's statement earlier.
I can speak to, Mr. Speaker, the 2022-2023 Main estimates which, for the public service, has a net five people being added. If I include all the public agencies and various special purpose funds, the surface rights board, etcetera, at that point, we have over 6,000 -- 6,200 -- 6,249 public servants. There is a total net increase of 48 this year, Mr. Speaker. So I can certainly go back and look at some of the evolutionary history over the last few years but for this year, as I've said, the departments here are a net increase of five. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
