Management is a very broad phrase. Is that administrative, financial—this is not a trick question; I am just trying to understand in what sorts of circumstances would this apply? In other words, how is this power of delegation any different from the previous power? Does it relate to administrative functions? Does it relate to operational matters? If I can get some elaboration of what the Attorney means by that, it would go a long way in satisfying what I think the Scrutiny of Bills Committee raised as a legitimate concern?
