Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, I questioned the Minister of Health, Mr. Ng, on checks and balances that would be put in place for the health boards as a way of checking on the performance of these boards, whether or not there was a policy in place, whereby the Minister would step in if things were getting out of hand. I would like today to address my question to the Minister of the Financial Management Board concerning departmental responsibility overall of the departments in regard to performance of these departments. My question to the Minister of Financial Management Board is, Mr. Speaker, in relation to the amount of money that is involved which has been turned over to these boards, in particular, let us deal strictly with the health board at this particular time. We are talking $172.5 million over 97-98. I would like to know what the Minister of the Financial Management Board, what sort of checks and balances the Financial Management Board has to ensure that these boards are performing their overall duties and staying within budget?
