Mr. Chairman, first of all, for at pleasure appointments, the deputy ministers contracts and at pleasure appointments reporting to the Premier, the Premier in this government, in the past government, and I do not know about the one before that, has had that responsibility and retained that responsibility.

In terms of my role as the Minister for the public service, the responsibility for termination was in 1996, when my predecessor delegated it out to the deputy minister. I have not been involved in very many of the termination agreements and so on. That has been delegated. Thank you.
