Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism; Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources; and, Renewable Resources. The government is proposing the amalgamation of these three departments, and the Standing Committee on Resource Management and Development has been reviewing this objective. It's a big initiative and it has impact on both the employees in the department as well as on the general public. Concern has been expressed about this concept; the concept of combining the three departments. Some of the comments that I've heard are that one department is there to cut the trees and the other department is there to save the trees; one department is there to catch fish and the other is there to analyze and promote the environment and save the fish. I received a letter from Enviro Watch on this matter, which I tabled a month or two ago. I would like to ask the Minister if he could explain why this initiative is being taken to combine the departments.
