Thank you, Madam Speaker. When we reorganized the department and we took the steps to decentralize spending and lending authorities, it wasn't just within the Credit Corporation of the EDA, there is also a significant amount of dollars that are spent on tourism marketing and development. Each of these changes that took place and the internal changes, were driven by the superintendents and the senior management team made of the deputy and the assistant deputy minister. It is an internal committee that assists in developing policies that are, hopefully, more reflective of the needs of the regions. In the past, these policies were all developed within the centre with little or no regional input at a bureaucratic level. That is how this works. It is not a committee that deals with the implementation of policy, et cetera. Thank you.
