I could have sworn I heard a Member of the Cabinet say that was on hold. Repeatedly say that, in fact. I’d like to point out that these things have been continually raised. The Premier or Minister of Executive continually deflects things by saying this is a responsibility of MACA. I admit MACA does have some pretty modest voluntary sector programs in the area of sports and so on. In the area where we have voluntary work on critical services like mental health, harbour from family violence, accountability on behalf of the land, and so on, these are served by many other departments. There’s a clear role for the Department of Executive and again there’s been a clear call for establishing an office in the Department of Executive for capacity building. Will the Minister get this done by the end of this term?
