Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Senior officials of government, when sitting in at meetings with the MLAs or Ministers, all pretty much service a similar purpose. That is to be there as resource people, to be there for assistance and guidance when asked. I would think that there is, in fact, a difference between participating when asked and being involved in political discussions. I would say that there is some natural constraint there.
