Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Public Works and Services. I was
wondering if the Minister could update the House on some of the changes that are under way with Public Works and Services, over and above what was in the business plans in terms of restructuring and reworking the department. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, the Department of Public Works, like all government departments, is participating in delayering of management positions and efficiency movement. At the present time, here at headquarters, we have eliminated two ADM positions. We've reduced the number of directors from eight to five, and there are further reductions proposed.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Could the Minister indicate whether these changes are going to affect the whole length and breadth of this department, or is it just a headquarters restructuring? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, the restructuring is department wide. We are beginning with positions at headquarters, and down the road with consultation with the rest of Cabinet, there will be further changes in regional offices also.

Mr. Speaker, I was planning to provide the Standing Committee on Infrastructure with a briefing note on the restructuring plans and what has been done to date. I will be prepared to go through some of the detail during the budget review.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Minister be able to provide, during that period, specific numbers in terms of reductions, so for those of us who have experienced some significant cuts, we would be able to add them to our list to see how the numbers shake out overall? Thank you.
