I guess the aspect that I was looking at, Mr. Chairman, and the Premier referred to it, was really the across-government. Not so much I don't want to isolate the Executive or any department, but it's that across-government expectation of communication. One aspect of this is, as the Premier pointed out, where each department has one or two communicators and many of our boards and agencies also have those kind of functions within them, we've seen a couple of interesting moves fairly recently, Mr. Chairman, with technology where we've kind of brought together our IT people into a service centre. We're about to engage in that kind of thing with our human resources. Is communications something that may be within the same realm where there are some government-wide policies, services, resources, whatever, that could be applied for everyone's benefit? I really want to avoid the word centralization because communications cannot be centralized, but the delivery and the mandate to do so I believe could be better coordinated without any increase in resources. Would the Premier care to comment on that bit of speculation? Thank you.
