Mr. Chairman, the secretary to Cabinet would be the person who would have done the identification of the 10 percent of discretionary funding. In doing this, then I expect that she has spoken to the Premier and looked very carefully at what other areas may be affected. This item is basically made up of salaries and travel money, then the amount that was targeted had to be taken from the travel side. How she arrived at how much from the Premier's office and the Ministers' offices is, I would expect, related to Ministers' and Premier's official duties. Thank you.
