Mr. Speaker, the only commitment I can make to the honourable Member is that for this department and headquarters review that is taking place, the firm of Deloitte and Touche has been selected to do work for us. Perhaps we could give them the direction to also look at this scenario that the honourable Member is pursuing. I think it's a very legitimate area where we can do the work. I understand that during the review process, the team will be looking at information and materials from other reviews. They will also look at best practices of other jurisdictions and they would like to interview the MLAs and senior management team. Again, in the life of this government, to do a specific direction to ask for more positions to go to the smaller communities, we need to have a coordinated plan. Perhaps the review might be a good way to pursue this initiative. Thank you.
