Thanks, Mr. Chair, and thanks to Ms. Beard for that info. I guess I would be interested in knowing when this review of the Public Service Act might be done, when we the Assembly could expect to see some kind of concrete either

Public Service Act LP and/or stand-alone Safe Disclosure Act LP.

To the Minister’s comments, I’m a little confused. The Minister talked about adjusting mains. I have to say, when I look at this document in front of me, I see that the budget for HR – and this is just in the directorate – in 2013 was $3.78 million, in 2014-15 it was $4.4 million and in 2015-16 it’s $4.5 million. But in that time, somewhere in there we moved 71 people from HR to Finance, so albeit with forced growth and everything else, I’m not understanding how this budget has gone up. If the Minister is telling me that the numbers have been adjusted, then this is more evidence of smoke and mirrors that I constantly talk about.

What adjustment is he talking about in terms of the mains? Where is the cost for the 71 employees who went to Finance? Has it not been removed from the dollar value for the ‘15-16 main estimates? Thank you.
