Mr. Speaker, I don't know. It is always of opinion on whether it is equal. I am sure some Ministers someday feel very overworked and others may feel that, well, we haven't had a lot of issues in my department or whatever recently. Mr. Speaker, it is as equitable as I can make it right now, in my view. Mr. Speaker, if I take the Minister of ECE's responsibilities, well, it is ECE, which is a big department and a very important department in our government, as is Health and Social Services, but he also holds the position of Government House Leader. He is also Minister for the Workers' Compensation Board, for Official Languages and the Status of Women. That is a big workload for one individual to hold. Is it equitable? Is it fair? In my view, I think all of the Ministers are doing an excellent job in being able to manage their portfolios and recognize that, at times, some do get very busy. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
