Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That suggestion by the deputy is one that I will take. I will defer any further questions. I would just like to point out, on the record, that the government informatics strategy is a planning process with no apparent end. I was with the government for almost 20 years, and I think half of that was trying to come up with an informatics strategy. I have been waiting for the government to come up with an informatics strategy for five years as an MLA, and we are still waiting.
Mr. Chairman, I would just like to touch on two other things on this particular area. First, I had some concern with a comment the Minister made about making sure we set our targets low enough that we can reach them. This is a comment that we have heard from other departments in the social program envelope as well. This causes me some concern, in terms of quality.
I think it was Milton who said, "our reach should exceed our grasp," and I think we have to extend ourselves as a government, as individuals, as a department. This was in reference to the issue of targets for teachers. I just wanted to say that I think we should set ambitious goals for ourselves. If we do not achieve them but we do a fine job trying and we are making good progress, then we can stand up when it comes to accountability, and say that we had very fine aspirations and they are still goals. We are not there yet, but by God, we are going to keep plugging away at this.
Would the Minister reassure myself and my colleagues that, especially within the Department of Education, Culture and Employment, which is a key department, a role model, he will continue to instill values that will speak to this issue and set goals in this department like we want our students and people to do? We are going to set goals for ourselves that are going to be lofty, but are good ones. Thank you.
