That’s not consistent with what we heard during the business planning process this time. We were under the impression that the department was going to work towards the implementation of five. With one already in place, that means four more. Meaningful work towards implementing four more for a total of five during the 2011-12 fiscal year. I’m curious why that’s gone, why that’s no longer a commitment of the Minister as outlined in the business plans.

With respect to the Shared Services Centre, I’ve been reading the Bear Facts so I knew those were going on, but I know there are some people out there who are confused or they’re not as comfortable, and if there’s anything we can do to give those staff some more assurances of where we are, it wouldn’t go amiss. Anything we can do to help ease some of the anxiety that’s out...

Okay, I will now go to Premier Roland for a response to the general comments.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. That sounds like a little bit of a hypothetical question, but I’ll go to the Premier for his thoughts on the question.
