Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think all of us on this side view Health and Social Services as a very important department. There is no question about that. We also consider environment to be very important. I tell you, in the case of the Minister, the Minister is there. I can vouch for him. He is there at 7:00 in the morning. He is there at night. I will talk with the Minister about whether he has had to miss meetings of Health and Social Services or Environment because he is just too busy with other tasks, but, Mr. Speaker, I don't think I will have a perfect balance in terms of workload on Cabinet, but I am confident that the Ministers are all carrying their workload in a good responsible way. That is not trying to degrade the responsibility of health or social services. They are both very important. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
