Thanks to the Minister for that response. That was pretty clear. I don’t really disagree with what he said there as long as we are doing decentralization intelligently. Decentralizing when there is already an overabundance relative to the rest of the territory of government workers is a strange process to achieve decentralization to me.

The other aspect is we want to know what the full costs are. Will the Minister commit to telling us how long these positions remain empty and this service is not provided and report to us regularly on that? I guess I would ask that the Premier do that, as well, as we go through decentralization so we are aware of full costs as we do this.

At some point I think decisions will have to be made. I would love to see decentralization done successfully. I think it is a real opportunity that we need to pursue, but again, it needs to be done with all our eyes open to achieve our goals. Thank you.
