As I said, Mr. Chairman, I think the Premier was doing what the committee had asked him to do. I do not believe he was in conflict. As well, it is common practice for the manager, the supervisor, to be involved in the discipline and termination of an employee who works for him. That happens all the time in government. While there may have been other ways of doing it or other perspectives on it, I do not think the Premier was at all in conflict in this sense here. Thank you.
