Thank you Mr. Chairman. I am going to ask Liz Snider to respond to that specific question. I just want to make a comment in regard to appointments made by this Cabinet, made by myself as a Premier.
When I was elected, when we sat down as a Cabinet for the first time, the Ministers and I agreed that appointments such as the principle secretary to cabinet, who would be the deputy minister, secretary to cabinet, including the appointments of executive assistants down to executive secretaries, would be done together. It was new. It is the first time that this type of thing was done by agreement.
It is the perogative of the Premier to appoint all senior managers in government, deputy ministers, principle secretary, secretary to cabinet, chief of staff now that is created. In this case, I have shared that responsibility and that decision with the Cabinet. In turn, they have shared with me the people that they have asked to take on the jobs of being their executive assistants and executive secretaries.
So I want that to be on the record, because the Member made a comment about that, and he should know better. Thank you.
