I am not going to presume that what the member for Davenport says is accurate. I am not saying it is inaccurate, but I am not going to presume that it is. I said to the house yesterday—I made it very clear—I would go away and check and come back to the house, but I make this very important point: the executive retains the right not to make public cabinet deliberations. I do say this: judge us on what we have done. HomeStart remains in public hands.</text>
