Mr. Chairman, I realize we are in a dilemma, particularly with our financial situation. I realize that. I realize that all departments are having problems because our fiscal outlook is not that great. We are trying to balance our budget, et cetera, in a time of restraint. What I am suggesting to the Minister and to the department, particularly, is that they have to put more emphasis and more output with the resources which are available to them. Between the previous government and today's government I know there is a big difference there. We are now in a restraint period. That is why she has to instruct her department to work perhaps twice as hard because of the situation we are in today. That is all I am suggesting to the Minister. In my comments, I did not say the department did not do anything of significance. In my view, nothing of significance has been accomplished, that is what I said. I did not say the department did not do anything. I know they are trying, but they have to try harder. That is all I am suggesting. Being a new Minister, I am strongly suggesting to her that she has to give direction and she has to put more emphasis on these issues which I have raised. Those are my comments pertaining to her department. Mahsi.
