I am responsible. That is why I set up the inter-agency group. That is why I came forward with recommendations. I am responsible, that is why I asked the DRHE to do this work. That is why I have published these reports. That is why I did not delay the publication to wait for the completion of a survey. It is why I published them and we are discussing them today at this committee meeting.

What the Deputy is trying to do is very deliberate and very obvious. He is focusing on the wrong things. He is trying to undermine the work the Department is doing with the local authorities-----
