Thank you, Madam Chair. I thank my colleagues for their comments on this and I do appreciate their concerns. However, getting back to the motion, I think, for me it's a matter of principle and I think some of my colleagues may have been missing the point on that. I think the government is missing the point, as well. What I'm saying, and the reason this motion is in front of us today, is because somebody forgot to be responsible; somebody, and you can look across the room here, there's a number of Cabinet Ministers there with portfolios. When the departments had the HR function, who was responsible for it? The Ministers; the deputy ministers. When we amalgamated it, the first thing that the Minister says when there's problems, well, they came from the departments. Well here we are, we're still bleeding as a result of these problems that were coming from the departments. My concern, Madam Chair, is that we didn't address it at the front end. We didn't go back, identify where the problems came from and rectify that with money from the departments to fix the problems that they created in the first place. That's why this is here. This money is already spent. I mean this is just principle. It's on principle, Madam Chair, that I move this motion.
Again, I respect my colleagues. Madam Chair, I'll go on the record again and say I was fully in support of the amalgamation of human resources. Don't get me wrong; I was. I think it's definitely a step in the right direction. There are some growing pains that are going on there today, but the message should and has to be sent to the government that we are paying attention. That's the bottom line, Madam Chair. Thank you.
