Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have to agree with Ms. Snider. I have heard good things about the programs from northern graduates, in particular. I think it is a useful and worthwhile program.

My concern is that we have the Executive branch of government, which is typically not a program-oriented area. They have corporate human resource services, for instance. That is more of a program area, as far as I am concerned. It is something like the Department of Personnel used to handle in the previous structure of government. The Energy Secretariat -- I know the Premier has committed to take a look at moving that out of the Executive. We have Maximizing Northern Employment -- these are all programs now.

We have a body that is designed to provide executive support to the government now getting off into the program areas. You know, I am not even sure that the establishment policy for the Executive even contemplates that kind of activity.

Specifically, I am having a problem with the philosophical approach of having the Executive take on programs. I am just wondering, has the establishment policy of the Executive been amended to include contemplation of such actions that they are now undertaking?
