I thank Mr. Fraser for participating in this meeting and for his remarks so far. I wish to pick up on a point he made in his closing remarks to Deputy Farrell's questions. He stated that the current Secretary General had waived the salary increase. However, that Secretary General has said that it was being waived until the economic conditions improved. What defines that improvement? Is it at his discretion? Is it at the discretion of central Government, be that elected representatives or officialdom? Is this a temporary measure?
