Mr. Chairman, in the role of the superintendent, the question is, what does this person do and what kind of authority does he have. Mr. Chairman, I made references earlier to a major initiative of this government when we started and the agenda for change, how we intend to make government more effective and efficient by transferring authority and accountability for actions to program departments and to the communities. This has allowed for streamlining processes and trying to get rid of unnecessary regulations. It is also for reducing administration and increasing the authority the superintendent has, which is quite substantial. The superintendent has full control and authority for his budget. The superintendent follows all the policies of this government and in cases of discussing proposals that are put forward, unsolicited proposals by different individuals in this case, specifically for looking at office spaces and so forth. They are the front-line workers and they have discussed different ideas that different groups have come forward with to deal with accommodating the government. Yes, that is their responsibility to initiate discussions.
Once discussions are underway, this is moved to the deputy ministers for approval. This is how they work together to eventually develop a plan. There is a disposal policy for government assets. In the case of major government assets, again, it has to be approved by the Financial Management Board before disposal of that major asset. This is the way the superintendent works. Thank you.
