Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I do not recall saying that I was going to take back some of the autonomy from the boards. I think, what I have been on the public record as saying is, we may have given them too much flexibility, possibly, in some of the decisions without intervening or questioning some of those decisions more pro-actively. My answer to the honourable Member would be, I think we have to develop a mechanism and a protocol and a memorandum of understanding between the Minister and the chair, between the boards and the ministry, what things can and cannot be done and what type of reporting relationships would take place before any major decisions are made and prior to them being implemented. Thank you.
