Thank you, Madam Chair. There are certain positions within Cabinet that I believe should be maintained in Cabinet. For example, the principal secretary position is critical to the Premier. It is a person of trust. It is a person who ideally can build relationships. Because that person is so vital to the working of the Premier, I think that that has to remain within the Premier's perusal.
For deputy ministers, I think that we are open to feedback. I think that it should be, at the least, a Cabinet decision, that is, decisions that are made in Cabinet that we talk about. I think that we should be open to feedback from MLAs as well, but ultimately, it does have to be a decision that is made based on the best needs of all departments versus personalities.
I am open to hearing all Members' opinions, but I also would require that sound reasoning be provided behind every comment and recommendation. Thank you, Madam Chair.
