Does committee agree that we have concluded consideration of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources?

I’d like to call Committee of the Whole back to order. The next department that’s up is the Legislative Assembly. I’d like to ask Speaker Jacobson if he’d like to make opening comments.

What is the wish of committee? Mr. Menicoche.

Mr. Speaker, I will try and be more brief. I’m sorry. It doesn’t seem like there would be much incentive for directors or people in management positions to identify obsolete positions within their organization. Really, I don’t know what incentive there would be to report that because that means less people working for them. That might diminish their role as director. I know that sounds like kind of a sinister conclusion, but what incentive would senior managers have to identify positions that are no longer needed or not busy enough to constitute a full-time job? Thank you.
