Mr. Speaker, the initial delay in appointing additional members to the health boards when they became vacant, is because we had a general directive put out that we would put on hold, for a period of time, appointing members to boards and agencies unless there was a requirement for a quorum, until we had established and looked at the boards while we were going through our budget exercise. Recently, we took another change in direction, which was to put forward the appointments that are from the communities. Because the Legislative Assembly has been in place, we have tried to keep the cabinet decision-making to a minimum, so these appointments are prepared and they are ready to go to cabinet. But at this point in time, because we are in session every morning, with caucus and other meetings, we just have not been dealing with it. As soon as the session is over and we can proceed with the paper work, they will be appointed. Thank you.
