Public Accounts committee  I have to clarify a few things. It was a logic model that was developed by an interdepartmental working group of which the Treasury Board Secretariat was one member. So for our part in that, yes, we accept all responsibility. It was a predictive model. When predictive models are examined after the fact, many of them don't withstand the test very well.

Public Accounts committee  It's important to point out that the policy for relocation services changed in 1998, and this was a national joint council policy. For those of you who understand, this is where the bargaining agents and the government get together. At that time, we wanted to put some controls on government expenses, plus we wanted to encourage people to hang on to their homes, because it was a more cost-effective way to manage relocations.

Public Accounts committee  I have no opening remarks.
