Thank you. The Minister indicated that managers are always involved in discipline. I would assume he means in negotiating these types of termination contracts. I would agree with him. I would also agree that they typically would be signing these, not the Minister for the public service. I am wondering if this Minister for the public service can tell us, in his tenure as Minister, how many termination contracts he has been asked to sign? We have lost some other senior-level civil servants. There have been arrangements made. Presumably then, this Minister must have signed off on those as Minister for the public service, or are we talking about a single, isolated incident, the first in memory, that the Minister for the public service has ever had to sign off on a termination contract?
