Mr. Chairman, I misunderstood. I thought the Member was referring to the human resources side of things. As for accountability in general, the Department of Health and Social Services certainly covers a broad scope of activities. Much of it is governed by statutory obligation and responsibilities that we have, such as health insurance, hospitals, child protection. We have 27 pieces of legislation, including the Canada Health Act, which we have to comply with. I guess a lot of the accountability of our department is governed by statute and legislation.

As far as my own personal opinion of what accountability means, it is to manage the resources of this department so that it delivers the most effective programs and services to the people of the Northwest Territories, through working with other Members, certainly the Standing Committee on Social Programs, being open and responsive to the suggestions of the other elected Members who all bring their own unique perspective to this job that we do. Thank you.
