Mr. Garrett Murray:

Our capital budget was increased by 12%, as announced last week, while our research and development budget is at a figure of 3.7%. We also have the more than 50 staff allocated to the Department. We have spent a lot of time in the Department looking at where we need priority posts and where we can have the most impact. When the final number has been decided based on what is available through what has been allocated and from our own resource income, where the ceiling on what we are allowed to use has been increased, we will be able to announce exactly where the posts will be. On where we are regarding what has happened in the past five years, I am more than happy to circulate the information we can show to the committee broken down appropriately.
