Thanks, Mr. Chair. It's, perhaps, a bit unusual for among committee members to be looking into the reasons or the background for a specific motion. I guess what really caught my attention here was the suggestion that Municipal and Community Affairs broaden their mandate with regard to land administration. Mrs. Groenewegen has explained, to some extent, if I got this correctly, that their mandate is already broad enough. It does cover the requirements on a government-wide basis. So I guess where I would perhaps look to the Minister would be to see where or in what areas broadening the mandate could be constructive, or is the mandate already inclusive enough? I'm very prepared to entertain a discussion -- obviously it would have to occur in a different forum -- about changing the mandate so that we do a better job. Can the Minister advise, is there something in here that his department could, indeed, use to do a better job of land administration? Mr. Chairman.
