Thank you, Mr. Chair. If you look at the mandate that was done from this, the increase in regional decision-making, it will be done by the people that are in the regions. There was feedback that they felt that they couldn't make decisions, that they couldn't -- they couldn't be the final say, that everything that they had to do had to come through headquarters, and then when we did the review of their job descriptions, it's not true. So I don't know if that's a perception that's come from they're thinking that or somebody that was a supervisor in headquarters that got too heavy handed, but that is what we're trying to correct, is the misperception by people in the regions, such as local LHOs, education bodies, etcetera, that feel that everything they do has to come through headquarters, because that's not appropriate. People are paid at the same levels, and they are expected to do the same work. So they should have the same level of authority to be able to make decisions as somebody in Yellowknife. So that was what that mandate -- or that priority is about. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
