Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, Mrs. Marie-Jewell is correct, the act was amended. Basically, the Minister of Personnel has the exclusive right to appoint people to positions in the Public Service with the exception of deputy ministers, who are appointed by the recommendation of the Government Leader, by the Commissioner and the Executive Council. However, I would point out to Members that the same legislative principles with respect to specific legislation prevailing over general and later legislation prevailing over earlier legislation would still apply to this particular bill before the House.
