Supplementary, Mr. Speaker. Our standing committee recommendation did not require major reorganization of the department. It wanted to strengthen and separate the roles played by the deputy minister and the comptroller general. This should not be an overwhelming task. The fact that the Department of Finance and Cabinet have been unable to achieve a relatively simple restructuring exercise suggests to me, Mr. Speaker, that something must be very wrong. That is why it is taking them so long to resolve this issue. Can the Minister indicate why he has decided to make this change in authority part of a much longer and drawn out process, rather than just dealing with it right away?
