Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As members are fully aware of what I have said earlier, Cabinet has approved the work plan for the amalgamation of these three departments. Cabinet has sent Government Ops a copy of the work plan, we will be sending it out to all stakeholders for their input. The member is not exactly correct by saying that notices have to be given by January 1, 1997, that is not true. The covering letter to the member did say that we would like the work to be completed by April 1, 1997, and I believe that any restructuring or downsizing of employees and notices will be given out once Government Ops have had a chance to look at it, and all the stakeholders to give us recommendations. As far as tabling, once again, I must say that I agreed with the 23 members of this Legislative Assembly on a process. If other members want to change that process or circumvent that process, or not stick to the process they all agreed to, it is completely up to them. But I am bound to stick to the process, and I will do that. Thank you.
