Deputies and ministers--but particularly deputies--are now given performance-based contracts that designate certain activities that they have to do with respect to other statutory obligations. It would certainly be possible to list work in this area, but to be honest, I'm not privy to these things. I don't see them. I don't know what level of detail they would go into with deputies. But once a minister has made the commitment, and the deputy understands that, and it's serious, and it's written into their letter, they would then want to hold their senior management group within the department responsible for delivering in that area as well, you'd think.
