Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I believe that the department still has a major role to play in this government and, in particular, the asset management aspects. We still have a need, as a government, for somebody to carry out the projects. I think that although the department is considering privatization of POL, this is nothing new. This has been a proposal or initiative that has been put forward by the previous government and this government is following through with it but it plays only a minor part in the department's overall responsibilities. I think that if we take into consideration what we just passed here, there is only $566,000 that we are directing toward POL activities. So that is a small portion of the $39 million that the department is requesting here. To summarize, Mr. Chairman, I would say the department still has a very definite role to play in government. Thank you.
