Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I must say the Member has a propensity to focus on the negative of how we do business in the government. We have listened to the Members in this Assembly about the concerns around HR. The Member himself stated he has been raising issues for three years. I think he has raised a number of issues in this setting right now referencing previous times he has raised issues on certain files within Human Resources. I think, instead of looking at the glass half empty, I want to see it half full and what we have done. The Member has raised the issue of a sole-source contract that we put in place to look at our practices within government. We can clearly identify that we have dealt with the backlog that came along with the amalgamation. It has not been two years since the last budget. Last year was when we officially kicked off
Human Resources. There was planning before that as to how we would try to go about doing this. So we have done quite a number of things around clearing up our backlog on the pay and benefits side as well as try to do ongoing business; terminations, layoffs and pension data that is available. If there are particular issues that the Member wants to address, I would gladly try to work with him and deal with those specific issues and bring them to closure. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
