Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, with 4,700 employees, we are delivering services in communities that are needed. In fact, I think if you polled most Members in here, one of the jobs you see is trying to secure good jobs in your communities so you can have some good levels of employment. So I think there is some debate at that one. If they are all sitting around waiting for us to give them a sign to walk outside and say deliver our message. I think, when you look at it, the numbers have been provided as to what we do with our staff, the kind of jobs that are being done and what we have repatriated within government that was done outside of government before. In the area of contracting and speech writing, some departments do have their internal staff in place; some don't. In Finance, we did not have. Each Minister, if he feels that he needs to get additional resources to the table or a special expert field to the table, they can consider that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
