Yes, that indeed, as the Minister has just discussed, has for me been a real problem within our governance system. I think by leaving so much of the authority and accountability still vested in the Minister and in the Legislative Assembly, that the role and the authority of our appointed boards becomes quite limited. The real damage -- I'm sorry, that's not the right word -- the real impact is for the general public who don't know where to go when they want to get a problem solved.

Going and talking to a board or a committee and trying to get a street level answer, if you will, is a lot less onerous than coming into a political environment. I guess I am a real fan, a real advocate of decision-making and accountability disseminated to the level that is closest to the people it affects, but we are, for some reason, Mr. Chairman, still holding back on allowing our authorities to have that discretion and that authority. I think it's confusing and cumbersome for the public and the patients and people who use the system.
