Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Department of Human Resources is responsible for frameworks for overall management of the public services. That means that each department uses those frameworks when they come forward to apply for positions. I guess one of the steps that I've omitted to mention to this point is that every time that we're talking about increasing staff of the government, whether it's on the front line or an administrative position, that's reviewed also with Members of the Legislative Assembly through the business plan process and here as we go through the budgets. So the Members of this House have a clear opportunity to talk about those issues. The bottom line is that there are government-wide programs or government-wide policies that are administered by Human Resources, but each department is free to work within those frameworks and make sure that they can deliver the programs and services that they are mandated to deliver.
