Mr. Chairman, as I indicated, in my view and in some of the committee Members' views, we don't think this department requires this many people to do this function. We felt that this function could possibly be taken care of through the DM's office where the DM and his executive assistant could carry out all of these functions. The Minister has indicated that he doesn't think that is warranted and it should be left to the status quo. I think that most of the Members on this committee, when we discussed this issue, felt that was one possibility and could be a cost-saving measure if the role was incorporated into the deputy minister's office. I would like to ask the Minister if that could be a possibility. Thank you.
