According to SEIV's HTML manual 'Global ministers are ministers who control things at an empire wide level. For example, the "Ship Construction Minister" is a global minister who will add new ships to the construction queues throughout your empire.' It later goes on to state that

Ship Construction - Controls adding and removing new ships or units from the construction queues.

How do I make this guy do this? I want to turn over the tedious task of mine and satellite building to this Minister, but he never seems to actually build anything. Since it's a Global Minister I don't feel that I have to turn on any individual planet queues. Right? Am I missing something?
