Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If an individual is seeking employment and finds a job on-line that they would be interested in and they don’t have a computer and can’t do the eRecruit, they are still welcome to take their resume in, a hard copy, to anyone in the regional service centres that we have or also into headquarters here in Yellowknife.

I think it would be my preference or the department’s preference if we would. We have a meeting scheduled, I believe, for 7:30 tomorrow to talk about the report we have provided to the Members, and that we would answer the questions on that specific report that doesn’t really correlate with the business plan that we are presenting here today.

Yes, financial shared services position of 78 positions were moved from Human Resources to Finance for the new financial shared services, and the main estimates here are reflected in a way that in 2013-14, 2012, even though those positions had actually sat there, it would show a tremendous drop in the positions, so those positions are taken off right across the board, and so this shows a true reflection of what we’re discussing, but yes, 78 positions were moved to financial shared services.

For further detail, I’ll ask the deputy minister.

Just to let the Member know that we’re planning on introducing safe disclosure legislation in October of 2014. With the Staff Retention Policy, I’ll have the deputy minister provide more detail on the last comment by the Member.

I’ll ask the deputy minister to respond to that.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, I do.

I will talk to the department about what extent the bridge has been evaluated in as far as looking at the bridge for lessons learned and so on from the time the bridge was approved until the time the construction was completed and provide that information to the House. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. There is no further outstanding work to complete the bridge. Thank you.

We do not intend to close any of the walk-in services. We would probably not gain any savings. Again, it’s for more efficiency for people who are trying to do their registration. It’s not a huge cost to add this system. On the other hand, the intent is not to save money by closing down the walk-in service. Thank you.
