Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am still unclear as to the answer on the secretariat management of the $555,000. I wonder if the Premier could repeat what that is for and where that money is going? What it is to be used for? I am unclear of his answer previously.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Between MACA, health and services they have not worked out with us yet how the break up would be of the $550,000 between those two departments. But one of the key strategies of the government is the support of the priority work towards healthy communities and community-based problem solving is to develop and implement a framework and a process for community development and community wellness action plans. That is basically where this money will be ending up. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am not sure how to do this but I would like to ask if it is possible to leave this page until a later time, once we receive the information that the Premier has indicated that he is going to provide us with.

Mr. Erasmus, if you wish to defer this activity at this time you would move that we defer consideration of this activity, and then we would then move on to the next activity and return at a later time to this particular activity. Mr. Erasmus.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The reason I am making this motion is because we have been promised some very important information, which is important to a lot of us and I do not believe that we have been sent here to make decisions lightly and without all the information that we should have, and for that reason I have asked to defer this particular, the Cabinet Secretariat, I have asked to defer for further consideration of this particular area and I know I would not want anybody else to make a decision on a particular area that I was fully informed about, but that somebody else was not fully upon. I would grant that wish to someone else so I would hope that people would be willing to vote in favour of this motion until we do receive that information that has been promised. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just for clarification for Members of how we proceed in committee of the whole when we bring our budgets forward. We try at all possible times to have as much information as we can humanly think of, for possible questions that Members have to myself as the Minister responsible for this Executive, for example. At some time, during the next few weeks myself as well as other Ministers in this House, may not be able to answer some specific question but I take very seriously the commitment I do make to this committee. When we do commit to follow up with information and we do that in the timely fashion. So just so that Members understand that when we bring our budgets forward, we have as much information as we have with us and sometimes there is a question that we may not be able to answer, for some information we are going to need that time, extra day or so to get that information so as long as Members understand that, I thought I should clarify that. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
