Masi, Madam Chair. Deputy ministers of the GNWT obviously, as the Member alluded to, deal with the priorities that we give them, the mandate, to implement and rely on Cabinet before making a decision on DMs from the Premier. I believe that it has been done in the past, when I was a Minister, where the Premier of the day would give us a head's up. "There are changes in the deputies. What are your thoughts?" There has been some engagement in the past. Maybe they got away from that in the last Assembly, I am not sure, but I think that we need to continue to have that, because we are all a a team, Premier and Executive, the Cabinet and Ministers, so once there are changes coming with the deputies, Cabinet should be informed that there are changes coming down, and they might have some ideas, as well. I think we need to be open-minded, as well. Masi.
