Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The committee's feeling was that these are public dollars that we are talking about, and the public has the right to know. We are talking most particularly in reference to Hay Plan employees, who would not necessarily be covered by the collective agreement, which might have in it some privacy provision.

The Minister may be aware that, in the first session of this Legislature, I tabled a report which showed how a majority of provinces in Canada do, in fact, table this kind of information in their Legislatures, and make this kind of information public. I do not think it is unreasonable to think, if we are spending public dollars, that there has to be a public awareness of where they are going.
