Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there has been a significant amount of work done in the last number of months. For myself as a new Minister, I have to look at that work. I have had my own concerns, as my colleagues will recollect, when I was a member of the Social Programs Committee. There are things we can do immediately. There are things that we are going to take a second look at, such as, in my opinion, the territorial health board concept.

One of the concerns I have is what has happened in this case is there has been a lot of planning done, but the politics and the paper got separated. We got too far ahead with a lot of paper and we did not do the consultation and the work that is necessary.

I want to very quickly meet with the deputy minister and get my briefings. I want to meet with the senior staff. I want to ask to have a chance to talk to the board chairs all within this month to look at what we can do right now. There are some quick wins we can achieve, I believe. There are many, I think, systemic irritants that can be dealt with as a matter of course as we look at the longer planning.

As well, I would like to have a very aggressive schedule to travel to the communities and to the constituencies, hopefully in the next 90 days, all with an eye towards being able to finalize with Cabinet a working document that will lay out the specific things we are going to do in addition to what I just talked about with the quick wins that we can do.

That is what I intend to do at this point, having had the portfolio for 16 hours. Thank you.
