The other comment I wanted to make, Mr. Chairman, was with regard to the overall amalgamation of the departments of Health and Social Services. There are a few of my constituents who are, no doubt, disappointed with the amalgamation but, at the same time, when I advised them of the effort to make best use of dollars spent, it has certainly made them understand the need for amalgamation of services to be delivered.

I know my constituency was very supportive of the idea of amalgamation. The community got together in a couple of meetings to find out how we can do this amalgamation in the most effective, efficient and non-disruptive manner. I think that if there were concerns, the community was going to work with the department on them but it seems that the process is slowing down. I don't know if it's the Minister's department. Are your intentions to slow down the amalgamation because some were feeling that it was going too fast, or is it the intent to continue to support the communities that do want to see this amalgamation in an effective manner?
