Mr. Chairman, thank you. I appreciate the comments from the Members, particularly the positive comments towards Mr. Voytilla's ability at predicting and also keeping us on the right path. I think he deserves a lot of credit for our success in managing many of our affairs, particularly financial. The department has been very busy. At the same time, I have to say that FMBS has also devolved a lot of responsibilities out to departments. So it has not been all a case of just pulling in more responsibility.
There are many things that FMBS is involved in and some of them may appear that they should be in Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development or they should be in another department, but many of the things we do in major new initiatives we are undertaking or reviewing are issues that have financial implications. I think it is critical that we have FMBS either leading it or at least participating in the exercise.
So in terms of Human Resource Development Strategy and so on, that has been an exercise led largely by FMBS. We will wait and see what FMBS' role is going to be on that one in the future.
With the amount of human resource activity and responsibility taken on by FMBS, that is again a feature of our government where we have done away with some departments like Personnel and we still need to have that central coordinating function. FMBS has played the role very well.
With that, Mr. Chairman, I would be happy to discuss any other issues in detail. Thank you.
