Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I have tried to make it clear, and I have stated several times in this House, that I do not wish to use any particular board as an example because we are awaiting information to come in. I just found it interesting that the Member chose to apply his questions to other health boards from constituencies which he does not represent. That was just an observation.

I will not, Mr. Chairman, take that path the Member has taken with naming specific boards in relation to some of these deficiencies because, Mr. Chairman, to put it in context it is some boards and it is in some area of operation. I do not think we should overstate it. On the other hand, we have a responsibility to flag the issues.

When the Member keeps saying where was the department, Mr. Chairman, I have been responsible for the Department of Health and Social Services for just over one year and during that time is what I can speak to. I cannot speak to the past. I am not even sure that it is particularly...I just can't knowledgeably speak to the past. All I can speak to is that in the 13 or so months that I have been Minister, we have tried to be proactive.

Mr. Chairman, let me say, this is not intended to be a reflection on any previous Minister's leadership as well, as I look over at Mr. Roland. Surely, people can understand that I can only speak to the time that I have been involved with the department. During that time, I can assure Members that we have taken a proactive approach to the issues and have tried to share and flag the problems in a responsible manner, in a constructive way with the intent to finding resolutions. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
