Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I take the comments of the honourable Member very seriously. At the Cli Lake strategy meeting we talked at length about it and the action that we want to move quickly on is we are moving a change in doing away with the internal hiring policy towards Cabinet here in the next few days. Hopefully once we do that, that would alleviate some of the problems that the honourable Member is making reference to. At the same time this will allow for people who have skills outside the government system to have the opportunity, like everybody else, to compete on the positions that will be opening up throughout this government. Hopefully that will alleviate this problem and we are planning to move very quickly on that.

In the other concerns the honourable Member has in regard to the inconsistencies and the accountability and so forth, we are making strong emphasis that the onus is on the Ministers and the deputy ministers, that they have to comply with the policies that have been agreed upon here. Particularly, the Affirmative Action Policy that has to be applied the way it is intended to be. Perhaps there may be some situations in the past where the policies have not been complied to according to the way they are supposed to be, and we have to make sure that we do the policy the way that it is intended to be. There are other concerns the honourable Member had in terms of classification and so forth and there again, I think if we apply the policy according to the way it is supposed to be applied then we should be able to accommodate the concerns of the honourable Member. Thank you.
