I must make sure that I keep my answers short, and I will. I thought I had made that point clear. I will be meeting with the staff and I have already asked for a briefing. The issue is a matter of resourcing. I believe very strongly in, and have a great deal of respect for, the departmental officers in Midland and the departmental officers in all the regions. I am continuing to meet those officers as the new minister. Already I have been to a number of the offices and I will meet with the staff representatives of Midland to discuss their issues and the problems they believe are occurring there. Ms S.E. Walker : When? Mr D.A. TEMPLEMAN : I will be meeting with them next week.
