Thank you, Mr. Chairman. With this matter, I for one feel that either I will be asking for a review or that we instruct the government that we consider such a process in light of what happened. I think that we as a government and the individuals in our public service should have some comfort that there is a clearly spelled out process, there is due process and that we do not have a situation where we hear statements being made in the press by the assistant and also yourself as a Minister and then we find out there has been a layoff for three months and now we find out there is a process. It just seems like it is ongoing.

I think we have to have some answers to this. I think you are accountable to the Members of this House and accountable to the civil servants of this government. You are the Minister. I for one feel you do have responsibility here.
