I want to restate once again, and I want to restate it very clearly, that nothing gets on the agenda unless a Minister has signed and brought forward an issue. The point of decision is myself. I have spent a little bit more time on it than previous Government Leaders probably because it was filtered out by smaller committees of Cabinet and went through a process. So, everything gets on the Cabinet agenda and the only organization we do through the bureaucracy is to make sure that, when there is an overlapping responsibility, everyone is involved and that if a paper came forward that is complementary to another initiative that a Minister goes through, those things get worked out by deputy ministers and people who are doing the background work. I don't think that a Cabinet Minister could possibly know exactly what everybody is doing every bit of the time in other departments. Here, everyone is involved. Everyone is given equal status in terms of determining the Cabinet agenda. Thank you.
