He said that instead, the president welcomes the Cabinet and the Legislative Yuan to participate in the discussion.
"However, the president also hoped that the executive officials would not stay in the way of reform. That is, they cannot resist the reforms simply because their own institutions might be adjusted," Chen Shih-meng said.
Chen Shih-meng also stressed that the reorganization of the government will not be detrimental to the welfare and benefits of public employees because the Examination Yuan has been working on a bill meant to guarantee public employees' benefits following the government's reorganization.
A point of dispute at yesterday's conference was how many independent institutions should be created.
The meeting on Monday recommended that six institutions be established, but the committee members and public opinion have remained divided on the issue.
The Cabinet has said it will further discuss the question.
