It's a good question. Hopefully one of the things I bring is that having worked in central agencies, the Department of Finance and Treasury Board, I have been able to watch government operate from that perspective, and I've seen examples of good cooperation, bad cooperation, etc. I think in this area it's very important that we as a federal government work together.
I've talked about this being an issue globally, where countries have to, in some sense, cooperate as much as they possibly can. Certainly within the federation, Canada and the provinces have to try to coordinate as best they can.
The easiest of those challenges should be within the federal government, making sure we're working together closely with our colleagues at NRCan, with our colleagues at the Department of Finance on the economic issues, with Fisheries. A few key departments, but many departments, are touched by the Department of the Environment.
It's certainly very early days, but I've experienced nothing but cooperation on the things I've been involved in or that I've seen. I think there's a general recognition that's important. There will always be bumps along the road, I'm sure. One thing I do know is it's extremely important, and to the extent that we see those bumps along the road, we have to be reminding ourselves that we can't get where we want to go if we're not working in a coordinated manner and all rowing in the same direction.
As I say, in my time at Finance and Treasury Board, and in my short time here, I see very encouraging signs of that.
