Thank you, Madam Chair. The expectation from myself as the Minister responsible, from the Premier, and Minister responsible for Personnel, the effective staff we have will be treated with all the respect that should be accorded to them. Every opportunity to keep them on, to give them the first opportunities for new positions created will be advanced. From the beginning, I have expressed full confidence in my senior management to carry it out. I have made it my position that I am not involved on these staffing issues. It is a senior management function to take care of the staff and I leave it under the hands of the deputy minister. I think the evidence is there to show we have gone to extraordinary lengths to do everything possible to take care of our staff in every way possible. Thank you.
