Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate the Member’s comments. The issue of the escalation of operating expenses of government, I mean, that is a stark reality. As I laid out in the budget address, we are committed to restraining and constraining the growth of government and ensuring that our revenues exceed our expenditures so that, in fact, we can do the replenishment of our cash reserves and look for efficiencies within government. We are committed to, as I’ve already indicated, decentralization. The Premier has made that commitment in the House today. The Member is indicating that we should get on it right now, and in fact, that work is underway as we speak.
One of my functions, one of my roles, myself and Mr. Aumond, is I’m the chair and he’s the lead deputy for refocusing government. So we will take the Member’s suggestion about the program review office and then that office being tasked with looking at decentralization, and we will put that on the table for the refocusing government to see how we could meaningfully engage them in areas such as this. Thank you.
