Thank you. I will just say this again. I have said it before in this House that we have an obligation as a government to ensure that the most basic things such as confidential information, timely paying of employees for the work that they do for us. HR is a very important function in this government. I think it needs to be done right. At the end of the day, when you look at the issues and the incidents, as you call it, that have occurred in the HR department, somebody is responsible. Maybe some of it is software. Maybe some things are a sequence of events that have transpired which nobody is trying to turn back the clock. But I will tell you, it makes more doubting of the system and wondering what is going on when we can't get straight answers or straight information. I do appreciate the Minister's offer to talk to us about this, but it is too bad that we have to find out about it through this process. As MLAs and as a Minister, I think we just need to be shown the respect to be kept apprised of these things. We are trying to serve our constituents. Our constituents are raising these issues with us. We don't have the answers. If we have to go these lengths to get those kinds of answers, I just think it doesn't speak well for this government and this department and certainly some people in the HR department are responsible for this mess on our hands. Thank you.
