Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Cabinet that I am currently serving is well balanced and all of us in Cabinet are working very hard and effectively in our respective portfolios. Whatever changes we make in portfolio assignments will be done with other Members of Cabinet. It has been the practice and tradition of past Premiers, including Mr. Morin, to consult with his Ministers before making portfolio
assignments, and when making changes. It will be also my intent to consult with Members of the Legislature before making any changes. There will be no dramatic changes being made at this time.
We will be making them in any case, very early in the new year when we will be moving towards setting up a western Cabinet, electing two new Members, which will require changes because the Nunavut Members of Cabinet will no longer be with us and we will need to reassign portfolios at that time. I think the public would want us to maintain some continuity and stability with minimal changes as there is only a year to go at this time. There are going to be quite substantial changes, in any case, because of the termination of Ministers' service at the end of March. Thank you.
