Mr. Chairman. How Cabinet conducts itself and how it goes about its work is fundamentally important to everyone. It is my view that one of the things that can be done almost immediately is to put in place senior staff, for instance, a principal secretary who has a background in law, who would have the respect and confidence of everyone in Cabinet including the Legislature, who would have the confidence and the support of Cabinet to just tell it like it is. If there is something before Cabinet that compels us to review and question the way we resolve this issue, then it should be said, the deputy minister of the Executive. As I was saying, these people are critical. Their advice is critical. They should feel free to offer their views without fear to the Cabinet -- in their view what should the Cabinet do in the best interests of government, in the best interests of the Legislature, in the best interests of the public.
We can look at the way in which Ministers conduct business within their departments so that they are advised, if the way in which they conduct business with their Departments needs some revision, needs some clarification and to assure that deputy ministers, each and every one of them is compelled to conduct business in a way that conforms to government policy as they see it. If they have difficulty with that and they feel Ministers' instructions or direction is getting them to an area where they are not comfortable following, they should feel free to talk to the deputy minister of the Executive, bring it up to the respective Ministers and the Premier, so it can be dealt with, without fear of reprisal, without fear that they may be punished, without fear that they may stand in disfavour of their Ministers. We have to find a way to do that. Thank you.
