Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Minister of Finance. In the fall, the Minister of Finance had meetings with Marcel Masse, the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, and the object of the meetings between the federal government, the provinces, and the territories was to find ways to make program delivery more efficient and effective. So far, all I've really seen out of this exercise with the federal government is offloading and downloading.

I wonder if the Minister could give us an update about what's happening with those discussions. Is there, for instance, an opportunity to take over some of DIAND's programs? Perhaps we could deliver them more efficiently. Thank you.
