Explanation and Comments

The Ministry underwent a structural change on November 13, 2006: the Offshore Oil and Gas Division was merged with the Titles Division to form the Titles and Offshore Division. The Ministry did not acquire any new positions during this structural rearrangement, and the total Full Time Equivalents count remains the same. Staff reallocations were made to some divisions such as Electricity and Alternative Energy and Mining and Minerals, while Oil and Gas received fewer positions.

2006/07 figures have been restated to reflect the negotiated framework salaries and benefits increase, and budget funds transferred to ministries for centralized management services.

The amounts for Titles and Offshore reflect the Titles portion transferred from the Mining and Minerals Division. Executive and Support Services amounts have been restated for 2006/07 as a result of moving the Corporate Services group from Marketing during 2006/07.
