Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we have no information that would bring that into question, if there was political pressure when these things were going forward to make things go away or just deal with it. We feel there are processes in place today that would take that into consideration. If a Minister were to try to put undue pressure on one of the deputies in saying we want to see this one flow through, we have a system in place where the deputies are reporting directly to the Premier. There is a reason for that separation. If I, as a Minister, were to try to put undue pressure on my senior staff, they can go to the Premier and say this is not appropriate. Here is the advice and this is the way things should flow.
As well, I think the next piece of what we do on the political front, whether it's a Minister or a Member, is that we have the ethics portion of our duties and the Ethics Commissioner and a Conflict of Interest Commissioner. We have to adhere to those policies. If not, then you take your political life, as one would possibly describe it, and put it in jeopardy. Hopefully Members are very aware and familiar, as I am sure we all are, of the processes in place and the need to adhere to them.
