Thank you very much for your question. It has several parts, but I will try to answer it.
I was very fortunate to be at the MPMO from the very beginning, so instead of inheriting a group of staff, I got to staff from the beginning. My team is very small.
I think it has only eight officers and two directors.
In terms of how I break that down across the country, I have a western director and an eastern director. I have officers who have experience in certain sectors in terms of natural resource projects. I have officers who focus on a certain region as well.
In the province of Quebec, for example, I have two officers who are generally managing projects in that province. In terms of skill sets, a key skill set in my officers is collaboration. Just by the nature of who we are and what we do, my officers have to work collaboratively across the federal government and with other jurisdictions.
Some of my officers are experts in aboriginal consultation; others are experts in other fields. I feel very fortunate that I got to staff what I always call the A-team in terms of skill sets and abilities to really pull together horizontally the departmental officials and to work very collaboratively with other jurisdictions.
