Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I'd really like to believe the Minister when he mentions that, but we heard the exact same story when it came time to amalgamate our HR division under one roof. We heard the same story. Oh, it will save us money; it will save us money. I've had nothing but headaches dealing with the new HR. It's soon to be a new department. Nothing but headaches and that's the track record I'm working on. I hope that everything works out and I hope that we can save some money, but, again, I have to question that and that's my job here, is to question whether or not that's, indeed, the case. Given what's happened here the past two-and-a-half years, I'd have to say, no, it's not. Nobody has proven that this government is capable of taking a project and actually realizing some savings, realizing some cost effectiveness, realizing some efficiency. It just doesn't happen, for whatever reason. I don't know; maybe people are afraid to hurt other people's feelings or something. There's got to be a big problem somewhere where the decisions just aren't made that are going to save this government some money. Nobody ever wants to save any money, they just want to spend it, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
