Thank you, Madam Chair. I appreciate the Minister's response, but again we do not, as a government, as an entity in and of ourselves, we do not have a comprehensive human resources plan for the future, and without one, I don't know how we deal with the self-government entities to try to talk about which
positions might be devolved there, whatever the authority is they are drawing down, as you mentioned, Madam Chair, that's going to happen differently in every area. That's a given. What I think we need is to develop a plan.
Madam Chair, when you get elected to this Legislature and there are 19 of us here, I think what really should happen when the 16th Assembly is elected, we walk through the doors and we tell the departments get an HR plan and get it ready right now. Hopefully somebody is listening out there. To those departments that don't have an HR plan, get one. You know what? We are going to have to use that and develop a comprehensive HR plan and then, this is the other thing, Madam Chair, the Members of this House are going to tell the bureaucracy what the priorities are. The bureaucracy is not going to tell the Members of this House what the priorities are. I think sometimes it goes backwards and we don't always get the priorities we want. If the priority is to get jobs in the small communities, build capacity in the small communities, that's what we are going to do. We all have to be on the same page on that. Those priorities have to be arrived at when the new government comes in here in six months' time. I would suggest, as some of my colleagues have mentioned, we get that plan and develop it because you are going to need it six months from now. Thank you, Madam Chair.
