Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Almost a year ago, when we basically eliminated the Department of Personnel, this was one of the points that kept coming up by the Premier was that the managers were paid to be accountable. I would ask the Premier, has he put in place any mechanism that we could look at or any directive or any policy guideline to see in actuality where the effect of this manageability has come into play? Because I understand even in my region, many of the lay offs to date have taken place have been aboriginal people and very few of the new jobs seem to be going to aboriginal people. I see that in my own riding. I am wondering if the Premier has any stats on that. Has he issued any policy directives on that? What is the accountable mechanism that he is talking about? Is that, for example, a regional superintendent does that answer to the deputy minister? The deputy minister answers to the Premier? What is the chain of command here?
