Thank you, Mr. Chair. Like the other colleagues have said, this is a relatively new department, and we have negotiated terms of an agreement from the previous Assembly to this one and many outstanding concerns addressed on post-devolution issues. I look forward to going through this department and also knowing a little bit about the upcoming year's budget and action plans for reviews of mirrored legislation.

I also look forward to working through this review with the new deputy minister and, knowing the experience he brings to this new department, I have faith in his abilities, knowing that he also just started with the department last year. Given that, I look forward to going through this budget and some of the concerns we have for the upcoming 12 months. Later, I will have questions on some of the activities. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
