Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Minister seems to be unable to contain herself when it comes to making personal observations. Very clearly, the Minister stated in this House that payroll functions, for example, have been removed from the Fort Smith health board. Fort Smith is a very small health board. I chose to use the other two main health boards -- the biggest ones, the flagship, because it is the flagship -- and if the Minister wishes we could always take the discussion into the capacity of the department to provide the leadership from the Minister on down to run the department. Or the capacity to keep it healthy, and not run it into the ground. Mr. Chairman, I will choose to stay on the high ground here.

The question I have for the Minister, the Minister has indicated, given a veiled reference to, that there is information that is going to come up and it is going to show that the boards do not have the capacity. The question also becomes then, after all this time, what about the accountability and framework that is there, and the ability of the board support people and all the financial people in headquarters to in fact deal with this issue? This did not pop out of the woodwork yesterday, it has been there for some time. Boards have struggled with it. But it comes back to headquarters, the head of the organization for the department. Where were they, and what is going to happen to the needs that are going to be possibly identified there?

Once again, will it be set up that the boards are going to be pointed out as the fall guys because the department will say that they did all these bad things behind our backs, or whatever is going to come out of this? And when the flagship of health and services in terms of the service they provide is characterized as not having that kind of capacity, it seems to me to be a significant problem. Thank you.
