Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I believe that we have established fairly well the fact that the Premier is, in fact, the first person in Cabinet to answer for the conduct of the Ministers. In my view he does not require an undated, prepared letter of resignation from his respective Ministers in the event that he would want them to resign. There is sufficient loyalty in the Ministers, as I have seen in the three Cabinets that I have been in, that does not require this. I believe that Ministers will resign if asked by the Premier barring that a Premier can render a Minister without portfolio. That would compel, I think, all of us to address that issue if it ever got to that stage. Thank you.
