Mr. Speaker, as I understood, in taking on this new responsibility, the Standing Committee on Government Operations had requested a draft consolidation plan for the three departments to be submitted to the committee. Initially it was March 15th; the date was then moved to the end of March. It's my understanding, from talking to Andrew Gamble, the deputy minister responsible for consolidation of these departments, that we will have a draft consolidation plan to the committee by Friday of this week. The draft consolidation plan will give indications to the committee of what the objectives of the consolidation will be and will give some preliminary indications of what the benefits of the consolidation and other implications will be. It's my understanding that this was going to be a preliminary view by this government on the pros and cons of the consolidation. Hopefully, we will have some rough target dates within that draft consolidation plan about how and when we will be going about the business of consolidation. Thank you.
