Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Once the session is over and the officials within the respective departments have some time to dedicate to other ongoing work in a timely way, I would be able to indicate to Members in the next couple of weeks what type of timeframe we have and whether we do require a specific mechanism within the government to ensure that we meet the commitments made within the socio-economic agreement in an effective way. For instance, the Department of Health and Social Services, Education, Culture and Employment, as well as my department, are some of the departments that have responsibilities laid out in the socio-economic agreement. Right now, there is a working group that are detailing exactly what those commitments are, plus trying to establish exactly how we can meet those commitments. Having said that, it will be senior managers, deputy ministers, that will need to meet in order to advise myself as the lead Minister and the respective Ministers within the involved departments whether there is a better way to meet those commitments within the agreement; what better way might be recommended by them. Thank you.
