In response to one of your questions, I don't want to put words in your mouth, but you state that the deputy ministers don't have a fixed term, and you don't have a problem with this because there's no lack of accountability. But I don't see it that way.
What would you do? How would you give it accountability? Deputy ministers are changing all the time. So how do we put accountability in there, because as soon as the problem comes about, you just transfer them out? Then there's nobody who's going to be accountable? So I have no problem with deputy ministers being fixed, because they're going to be accountable. I can't see any other solution.
Now, I understand that things happen where sometimes there is incompatibility with a minister; that's life. There are certain times people do pass away, or personal events happen, but we can probably put those in a disclaimer or some type of a condition that will allow deputy ministers to be transferred. I don't see any other way for you to avoid the accountability aspect.
