Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I think the Clerk is going to circulate some red binders. It is the definitive objectives, 1993-94, the report on progress for each of the departments in a compendium as opposed to Ministers bringing it in prior to their budgets. Sorry it has taken so long to put together, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
