Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, one thing I learned real quick being on this side of the table is that your opinion doesn't really count as long as you're giving the department's position. I think it's important for myself that we have to somehow centralize the social funding that this government spends. We spend almost 10 percent of $100 million that's out there that people are having to go in every other direction to find it. I think for me that's one of the good things out of this, but it's also looking at the one-stop-shop concept where you go one place to deal with those dollars that are needed for low-income people as well as to look at our program dollars that are out there from income support to fuel subsidies to tax rebates to education grants, whatever. With that, I'll pass it over to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment so that he can add to that.
