Thank you, Madam Speaker. In September of 1992, the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs distributed this pamphlet entitled "Strengthening our Partnership" to departmental staff. This pamphlet also includes a mission statement, Madam Speaker, which concludes, and I quote, "We have an open and honest partnership with community governments built on a mutual trust and a desire to make a difference through teamwork and innovation."
On November 2, the Minister, in committee of the whole, reiterated that the department continues to rely on this mission statement. My question to the Minister is, can the Minister again confirm that the department's mission statement, as outlined in this particular document, is still in effect?
