Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It seems like it would save the government money if you looked at the lease concept. However, are there other areas of DPW which the Minister has looked at with regard to saving money. The concern which I am trying to bring forth as a Member, is that this department still serves the civil servants. The amount of money that serves 5,000 people is an exorbitant amount of money. When you look at the benefits, here we are as Members trying to get an increase in social assistance food costs of $25 million, this is peanuts compared to this amount of $125 million which this department spends on serving civil servants. What other ways have the department looked at in trying to save money?
