Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The area as I feel it is my responsibility is, that the information that the department has and, has received and heard the concerns throughout the territory, is enough to cause me to say we need to go out there. There are other concerns I am sure that we have not heard and have not been brought up in this forum. For example, if we are going to implement the strategic plan as it comes through the previous reports, then we need to fully bring up to speed the people in the territories as to what that might take. As well, in the day that we are in, where we have, for example, block funded the health boards and they have the responsibility to carry out the duties that we once carried out from a central headquarters department, we have changed that structure significantly since the 13th Assembly has taken power and we want to ensure that with all the change that we are first and foremost looking at the services we provide to the people in the Territories.
As I said earlier, I believe that when it is time to make the decision, we want to make the appropriate decision and inform the people of the territories. We also want to inform them of the concerns and the cost-drivers that we face in making the decisions that we do today. I believe that once we have that information out there, people will see and understand probably a little more clearly, the pressures that we face as a department, as a government and especially those in the communities, the people who are front line, the nurses and the social service workers, when they go into their offices and request consideration for one of the programs or services that we deliver, they will be better able to understand the pressures that they are under to meet their needs. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
