The committee, after reviewing both the department's most recent business plan and draft main estimates, noted that too much money and resources are dedicated to the development of strategies rather than on implementing current ones. Committee members suggested that funding for most of the new strategies could be used for priority issues or for other essential department programs and services. The committee restated from their review of the department's 2001-2004 business plan that it is concerned about "what we can realistically do in the life of this government."
