Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the fact is, with any department, when work is needed to be done, the Minister initially would look from within his resources to try and get the work done. If he can't, then he has to come to FMB for request for further monies. The work, as I stated, was done in a manner where we've had to put off some of our internal working, reduce some of our travel and training to go ahead with this work. As for going back to departments to try and recoup some of that funding, Ministers have already stated, and correctly so, that when this was devolved out from back in the mid-'90s when the Department of Personnel existed and it was sent out to each department to manage their own, they were not given additional funds at that point. So that's a point of contention, as well, of trying to go back and say, well, we need further monies for this HR process. Thank you.
