Madam Speaker, one of the reasons why we change portfolios is to adjust workload and also to take into consideration that many of the Ministers have changed, as well. So you try to do the best in fitting interest to portfolios. There are many reasons why Ministers have changed. However, in the end, the Cabinet works as a group, that the changes in themselves should provide a positive approach to the changing times. The government itself, right now with all the new initiatives and the financial restraints is changing itself. So I believe that the Ministers given the responsibility are deemed to be people who could handle change and various portfolios. Right now, what we try to do in looking at government expenditures and how we operate is that many of the different departments overlap in responsibility from one department to the other. So we're working very hard to make some sense and avoid duplication. Thank you.
