Mr. Speaker, again, on Friday, we said that we are not in the business of handing out contracts that we have with the employees of this government. They are considered confidential. In any case, had he been listening on Friday, it would be clear that the most sullied civil servant in our government, Liz Snider, said specifically, the contract does not spell out the duties and responsibilities of the employee in this case. The contract says that it is an executive assistant position. That position, because it is tied to the Premier's office, is re-titled Chief of Staff.
The Member is not listening so we might have to repeat this again. However, it is important to get clear that the contract that the Member wants to see has been conveyed to the Committee by the deputy minister to the Executive, the secretary to the Cabinet, Liz Snider, on Friday. The contract refers to that position as an executive assistant position.
If the Member would like, apparently, the employee that is being sullied here by these Members that say a cloud hangs over everybody, which I reject. I think it hangs over two or three Members. If they do not take my word for it, they do not believe I am representing Cabinet properly in this case, I deplore this implication. They can go as doubting Thomases, call up the legal counsel for the employee and ask to see the contract. I am sure they will be allowed to do that.
It is not my place and not my capacity to share the contract with these Members. In any case, it does not spell out the roles and responsibilities of the employee in question. It says categorically that it is an executive assistant position. That is what it says and it has been re-titled chief of staff. Thank you.
