Thank you.
A couple of questions.
The Office of Mass Engagement's budget is about 2.8 for 20 new staff lines.
Can you tell us what those newly created positions are, what units they're in, what's filled, and what's not filled?
Thank you for the excellent question, Chair.
Uh,
We, uh,
I'm going to have to get back to you with some of the details.
I did not come with all of those details, so I'm very happy to follow up with the details around specific staffing.
We, as I mentioned earlier, our work overall includes a lot of the historical work that happened before us.
We continue all that work, and we have added new work to create new pathways.
So there are 20 new staff lines.
Can you answer that?
Yes.
Yes, there are 20 new staff.
I believe so, but I will get back to you with the specific details.
But you don't know.
Okay.
