Mr. Fraser and his colleagues are welcome. My questions will be divided into two sections. I have a few questions on the annual report and some on the strategy statement. Page 5 of the annual report deals with core functions so will Mr. Fraser indicate how supporting the Government and secretariat has changed in the core functions since the new Government took office and how is it different from long-standing core functions? What fundamental changes are there in the Department as listed by the core functions for 2012?
