Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The office, itself, the duties and responsibilities, have been restructured in the last year and a half. There has been no formal evaluation, but I want to inform the Member that the person has been very, very busy. For a period of time, because of personal illness, we had to substitute someone in that office. There has not been very much slack time in that particular person year. Thank you.

One of the functions, somewhere in this organizational chart, in the new structure in the Executive, is for somebody to look at efficiency and effectiveness of our government programs and services. Part of that would be an evaluation component. Has that been set up and is it functional?

Mr. Chairman, on the audit evaluation, I believe that comes under Mr. Pollard's responsibility, and I would request the Member pose that question, for an update on the audit evaluation section, to Mr. Pollard. Thank you.
