I can­not give a "Yes" or "No" to that ques­tion. The re­la­tion­ship varies. There are min­is­ters and min­istries like the Di­vi­sion of Tourism with which the As­sem­bly has an ex­cel­lent re­la­tion­ship. Many of the oth­er min­is­ters, Per­ma­nent Sec­re­taries and oth­er de­ci­sion mak­ers have been ob­serv­ing the es­tab­lished rules of en­gage­ment but I am aware that there are oth­ers who seem in­tent on un­der­min­ing the au­ton­o­my and in­tegri­ty of the As­sem­bly. I hope that when they recog­nise that the strate­gies are like­ly to be counter pro­duc­tive, that they will de­sist and we can get on with the busi­ness of col­lab­o­rat­ing in the de­vel­op­ment of the is­land and the coun­try.
