Thank you, and thank you for the question. Again, I spoke about this at length in my speech today. This is one of the areas that the Premier can affect and needs to affect. The lack of collaboration that often happens or doesn't happen between departments affects the GNWT itself, because one department can't do its job because it can't get information from another department, and it affects service delivery. It affects how people, whether they're dealing with Finance or whatever the case may be, it affects how they receive services.

Some of the solutions I suggested were having a policy development unit accountable and that reports to the Cabinet directly, similar to the model that is used for standing committees, adapted as necessary, though. The other thing I suggest is actually using the deputy ministers as the management tools that they are. You know, utilizing their skills in managing their departments and tasking them with ensuring that their departments are cooperating. Often, the information that comes up to the Minister, it's filtered through a lot of people, and the deputy minister is one of those people, but the information is also filtered through people before it gets to the deputy minister.

That is why I also suggested having a feedback loop where the decision makers know what is actually happening on the ground, they know if people are getting information, because, as a Regular Member, we get a report that says everything is fine. If you talk to someone on the ground, things are not fine, and so there needs to be a way that that information makes it up to the Ministers, as well, so we need to task the deputy ministers with ensuring their departments are breaking down silos, are sharing information appropriately, and are working together. There is legislation that has to be followed. You know, there is privacy legislation that might have to be followed, and the last government actually made amendments to that, to allow that to happen, so we are taking steps in that direction, but it just comes down to doing it and following up on it and knowing that it's actually done. We can't just say, "Let's break down silos," and months later say, "How is that silo-breaking-down going?" We need to do our jobs, essentially. Thank you.
