Thank you. I can appreciate that, because the regionalization/centralization plan is still at an initial stage. To me, this is a very important part of the whole picture. I would like to know from the Minister if he is planning on bringing to us a more comprehensive plan about how these two functions are going to be combined and interconnected more. Maybe if he could bring that by the business plan session this fall. I would like to see some really concrete plans on some movements that the government could make on a management and training program, or a succession planning program. Right now, for example, Mr. Chairman, there are programs where employees get to go on education leave, for example, but I think it's largely done within a department. It's on a department-by-department basis, and it's largely based on deputy ministers approving these leaves and there is no real comprehensive, rational plan that everybody understands where all the civil servants can apply and such. That's just one area but, as I stated earlier, I am supporting rationalization of human resource planning because of the kinds of things that I like to see here. So I would like to get a commitment from the Minister that he is going to come to us in the fall, during the business plan review session, with that sort of concrete package. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
