I am happy to hear that the Premier has had those meetings with the staff in the previous fiscal years. I am curious when he will have those meetings with the staff in this fiscal year. I think it’s really important that we send a message from the top down that bonuses are, in fact, bonuses and must be earned through exceptional or performance above and beyond which is expected. If the Premier were to meet with his staff and set those expectations, we would know what they are being rated against later, but it would also send a message down that the deputy ministers should be doing that with their senior managers and their excluded employees. So I am curious: When will the Premier be actually meeting with his deputy head to set those expectations that must be met in order to get paid, and what will be worthy of bonuses, and will he be encouraging those expectations that must be met in order to get paid and what will be worthy of bonuses, and will he be encouraging his senior managers and deputy ministers to use that same model down through government to ensure that bonuses are earned, not expected? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
