Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I will take advantage of your largess and leap in here before you change your mind, since Mr. Dent now wants to speak.
I have two questions I would like to ask the Minister. The first one, since this is the first budget of the 14th Assembly, and we have the departments before us asking for $75 million. We spent quite a few weeks with business plans, targets, plans and programming issues. Given the fact that it was stated by the Premier in this House that there is no clear, measurable way by which to make this government, Ministers and deputy ministers accountable for not meeting targets, for my own clarity and peace of mind, I would like the Minister to explain accountability in his opinion as Minister with this department and the $75 million they are asking for. Are we just going through the motions and having to place our faith in the good nature of the Lord above when it comes to dealing with this issue in any kind of clear, measurable, accountable way? Thank you.
