Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Premier and this government have stated on a number of occasions, and it has been recommended as well by committee in January, I believe, that we should proceed with plans to amalgamate the three departments: Renewable Resources, Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources and the Department of Economic Development and Tourism. It's my plan to put together a comprehensive plan on consolidation, amalgamation of these departments, to have it reviewed by Cabinet to present to the appropriate standing committee for their input to ensure that all concerns are heard and addressed. As well, there will be some consultation carried on by myself, personally, with groups that we believe have a stake in this initiative. For instance, we have tried, on a number of occasions, to contact Enviro Watch.
Unfortunately, we've been unable to set up a meeting with this group yet. We've also contacted other groups, and we're developing a plan to have consultation with aboriginal land claims organizations, for instance, different business groups, as well as other stakeholders who may have concerns about this proposed amalgamation so we take and hear their concerns up front rather than late in the process. It's my plan to go out and seek as much input as I can, but still proceed with the plans to amalgamate, to consolidate a plan within the next few months. Thank you.
