Earlier, I spoke about the death knell for small businesses and that slow “No” which is sometimes the case in the response. In Dr. Quinn's Department, it is very important to be responsive immediately to all of the different parts of the economy and its different sectors, and perhaps this will be considered in the evaluation. Of course, our good friend, Mr. McCarthy, has a very important role to play but speed and responsiveness are key in responding in such a small, open economy with the different pressures it faces. Let us hope it ends up being that little bit speedier.
