Madam Chairperson, first of all, just so that I can correct any confusion I may have caused, I am not suggesting it is difficult at all to obtain and share that information. I simply do not have it today, but it is information that is at hand. We worked very hard in the amalgamation process to ensure that social worker resources were not targeted and were not cut. Further to that, the combined efforts of the Ministers of Justice; Education, Culture and Employment and Health and Social Services have caused there to be additional front line resources dedicated to community supervision and income support work which has had the net effect of actually giving the social workers additional time and resources to deal with matters of child protection and child welfare. Thank you.
