Mr. Chairman, I think what has happened in this situation is first of all, generally, the Premier would have signed the contracts of the individuals who report directly to him. In signing those contracts, he would also sign the termination contract, if there was one. If it was simply an administrative matter where there were not any issues, then it could be signed off by the secretary to Cabinet. I think that is the explanation of the inconsistency between the two. Thank you.
