Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my concern is twofold. One is the priority, of course, and my first purpose is that we ensure service is provided to the necessary level that provides consistent and good service throughout the public and service. My second concern is the elimination of further positions. As the Premier well knows, I have continually expressed concerns for my community and the continual erosion of positions there. I want to ensure that this was part of the deficit reduction plan when it was approved this past spring. That is my area of concern. I wonder if the Premier could tell us, will this secretariat be able to continue to function to the full level of service that it did previously with the reduced number of people? Thank you.
