Thank you, Mr. Speaker-elect. Program review is something government has been doing for some time. We have a Program Review Office that has a plan for the programs that they review. They have a schedule. We can tell them what programs we want to review and they come back and make recommendations. The hard part seems to be in deciding on what changes we want to make, because change is difficult at times and certainly if there are recommendations for significant change, it is difficult.

For the regional programs, the approach we should take is we should move them as close to the people as possible. Those programs that are not providing services on that basis should be reviewed and should change so it's effective and efficient to maximize the delivery of these programs.

Also, we have a Decentralization Policy where we are decentralizing positions out so the benefits of decentralization can be felt in the regions. I believe that process should continue, and I would like to see the Members endorse that process, so that we continue to build houses and build office space, so we can move positions into those communities. Obviously, we want to make sure that our programs are effective and efficient and are doing what they are supposed to be doing. Thank you, Mr. Speaker-elect.
