Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate the answers as to the different qualities of work or expertise, but I am still not hearing anything that would justify the creation of a completely different office. I mean, they are in a similar field. I mean, if we could have Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development doing renewable resources and wildlife and environment and everything else that they do, I cannot imagine that it would be that difficult for these experts. While their work might be separate and unique, you know, I think there are more similarities between these two offices than many that we could find in government offices. Another thing I guess I have not heard is the importance of not duplicating an administrative structure. So you could have the human rights commissioner and the equal pay commissioner and maybe, I do not know, others, if you have offices like this you could be sharing administrative services and structures that could be a time and money saving measure, but not interfere with and in any kind of way detract from these two different experts with different sets of skills and qualifications to do their work.
