Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the decision by Cabinet and FMB is to give full signing authority to the deputy ministers so they could do their work of managing their department and they make good business deals for this government. This is a way of streamlining government and providing good service. This was done about two years ago, this change, to give full authority to the deputy ministers within their departments subject to the Financial Administration Act. Thank you.
