It is the same thing. The opinion of the department, and also other departments, is that we, as Ministers, delegate full authority to the deputy ministers to carry on the work. The deputy ministers are the managers of these departments and they have full authority under their budget to do that. The explanation to the honourable Member is that yes, through a Minister we fully delegate our deputy ministers to do this work. They have a full authority to do it. Thank you.
