Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As the Minister is aware, the government has a policy. Policy is the only thing protecting the bureaucrats who are trying to deliver programs. When it is time for a change or if the policy does not fit the situation, the bureaucrats or the senior people in the field or in headquarters have the option to come up with a decision paper that we have developed internally which we refer to as a presidential decision paper and decisions are brought up to my level for the final decision to be made by myself on these issues.
Mr. Beaulieu on Item 19: Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters
