Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, for the operational detail of that one, I'd love to pass to Mr. Fulford, the deputy minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. A few comments that I think the nature of that work lends with a high level of accountability that can deal at a high level with Indigenous governments, with the federal government. There's a lot of intergovernmental work involved. The past experience has also shown that bottlenecks in approvals can happen where it was previously housed, and that will also be something that would be resolved by this new organizational structure. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. How can we, then, as an Assembly, gauge whether or not this new position is effective the way that the department intends it to be? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would suggest that there's measures by which this households the department accountable but also by the many partners that this new position will be dealing with, and likely they'll have their views on the success or lack thereof and will be talking to the Members and will hear about it. So I think that those accountability connections are there. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. So I think I made my point around this. I think often we see the solution to a lack of a -- a lack of a whole-of-government approach to public policy issues be solved with a new ADM. I don't know why it's an ADM, but it always seems to be a new ADM that will dramatically improve service delivery. And I don't know if that's historically been the case. I'm very -- and I'm skeptical if it will be the case here. But if -- you know, if this is how the department wants to expend its resources, then I wish them the best of success. But I hope that they can return to this House and clearly demonstrate that the bottlenecks have been resolved, that there's more accountability, and that these programs are having bigger impact than they had under a previous corporate structure. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Maybe just to pick up quickly, what type of targets are you setting for this particular position? I mean, we must have some matrix to decide that it's warranted and needed, and so can we get some objectives on how they're going to change this story. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The organizational structure that is contemplated here is in process, so that involves some of what the Member is talking about. So while it's not finalized, it's something that's top of mind. And, in fact, ECE is known for having in place those kind of structures to evaluate the steps that it takes, whether they are programs, policies, what have you. So thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I guess I'm going to ask what's the sales pitch to FMB based on the results and targets and the necessity of this position, could you give it to us. Thank you.
