Thank you, Mr. Chairman. When research is being carried out within the department, there is a policy, but we do not have any policy for internal research. Thank you.

Is the Minister saying we do not have any policies governing the internal research of the Department of Health? With all of the studies the department undertakes, you do not have anything to that effect, correct?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Any research or studies which are being carried out within the department are for surveillance and monitoring only. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, the report of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts includes the recommendation that all of this internal research should be summarized. At the present time, does the Minister know whether there is a central listing
of which research projects departmental personnel have undertaken?

If the Minister is aware of a central listing, could the Minister provide it to this committee?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That was already a recommendation made by the Standing Committee on Public Accounts and we were given 120 days to provide that. I could provide that, but not today. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, how can the Minister indicate to me that she is aware of a central listing of all research projects that the Department of Personnel has undertaken, when she just indicated to us that it will be provided to us within 120 days? Our report specifically included a recommendation that all internal research be summarized. That is a task we asked them to undertake. My question before she answered was, "Do you know whether there is a central listing of these research projects?" She indicated, yes. That is why I asked her to provide me with that central listing. Now she says I cannot provide that because she has up to 120 days to do them for the Standing Committee on Public Accounts. How could she say that in the first place? It indicates there is no central listing.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I did not say I cannot provide it. I think it will be much better to provide it when we make our response to the recommendation of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts, and that we deal with it all at once and review it carefully first. In fact, the recommendations which were read into this House, we are dealing with them in committee of the whole again. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, again the Minister is not providing our committee accurate information. I have asked specifically, Mr. Chairman, I said "at the present time." Forget about what the Standing Committee on Public Accounts recommended. We have asked for a summarized internal research document to be given to us. I realize the Standing Committee on Public Accounts made that particular recommendation. However, at present, I have asked you, "Do you know whether there is a central listing of all research projects within your department?" You said "Yes, you are aware of that central listing." If that is
the case, then I would like to ask the Minister to table it in this committee. That was my request.

All right, I will give you this then, Mr. Zoe. I said I was aware of it and I answered. When you asked me if I would provide it, I said no.

Mr. Chairman, then why is the Minister reluctant to provide that information if it is a current central listing of research projects? What is the big deal, why can she not provide it to the committee before we get into the details of the budget?
