I thank the Chair. I welcome the Ministers and their officials. In respect of Vote 11, the Minister, Deputy Chambers, made reference to the infrastructure division, some of the internal changes that will be made there and the transfer of staff from the OGP. He referred to 13 construction policy staff having transferred from Vote 39 and that explains the proposed adjustments there. How many staff are in the infrastructure division at the moment?
Was it not the case that there was a stand-alone climate division? Is the climate division still there or has it been absorbed into the infrastructure division?
