I think it does as well. I think it sends a very strong message. Certainly the choice for the premier to be appointed as the minister—and it could have been any ministry—is a very significant message.

You talked about regional diversity. Could you inform our committee how you work regionally with other provinces? We were told earlier this week by the minister that we were very fortunate to have nine part-time positions across the country for status of women. In our region, one will be in Saint John, one in Charlottetown, and one will be in Halifax. We definitely have that regional representation, which is great.
How is New Brunswick similar to the other provinces within our region, and also, what is unique about New Brunswick in terms of our region?
