Government Services Committee — Department of Works, Services and Transportation. The members of my Committee are Mr. Jack Byrne who is the vice-chair, Anthony Sparrow, Wally Andersen and Mr. Doug Oldford. I want to welcome the minister and his staff this morning. I will say that usually we give the minister fifteen minutes for opening remarks. The vice-chair has fifteen minutes to respond. We will interact back and forth with the members on questioning. Minister, you can start by introducing your staff this morning and then we can proceed. MR. MATTHEWS: Thank you, Chair, and thank you for having us this early in the week and this early in the morning. I am going to start by letting my staff introduce themselves so that we will get their titles right, and so that you will hear their voice at least once during the proceedings today. The Deputy Minister is to my immediate left, Barbara Wakeham. I know for sure who she is. She is the boss. — 11 May 1998
