Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just want to make sure that I have the proper context, so that I don't draw the wrong conclusions. These numbers might not be difficult to accept if it's proven that it's not just to serve the department in house. The Minister mentioned that the utility costs for $591,000 includes buildings in Smith. That makes me think that we're not just talking about headquarters where corporate management is sort of the internal, central organization that provides support services to departments. Could I ask the Minister whether these travel budgets and materials and services and purchased services and contract services and all that, is this section in charge of getting these for the rest of the department and the regional offices, or is it just limited to the deputy ministers, the ADMs and their support staff?
