Mr. Speaker, the firm was retained to look at how we can continue to deliver training within the reduced scope of funding that is being forced upon us. The training right now is done, for instance, by the Department of Justice for its own legal interpreting staff. The Department of Education, Culture and Employment also does its own and so does the Department of Health, I believe. What we have tasked this group to do is simply see how we can centralize the training and make better use of existing dollars.

The way in which we manage our staff is still left to the individual departments. It is my initiative as the Minister of Justice and, as I said earlier, there are many efforts which I can reduce that don't fly in the face of statutory obligations. This area seems to be one that my department is satisfied we can reduce without severely hampering the integrity of the service and without acting contrary to the statutory obligations we have under legislation. Thank you.
