As you know, employment equity is a very real issue across the public service. None of us feel that we are attaining the objectives we think we should be attaining. I can tell you, every department across government is focusing on this.
Each of the ADMs has within their performance contract some focus on ensuring that the employment equity targets that we've set are actually going to be met, because it's clear that we need to be much more reflective, even at the more senior levels, in Canada as a whole. So that's ongoing.
In terms of labour relations, we have a number of unions, and we have a very active relationship with all of them. Just a couple of months ago, certainly since my arrival, I and the deputy and the whole of the senior management team attended a labour-management forum in which we spent one day together talking through various issues to make sure our working environment is the most productive, so that we're not trapped in little irritations that actually stop productivity.
We do that at the national level, but we do it also at the regional level. I can say that as in all labour-management relations, there are days when things go well and there are days when things don't go so well. And there are days when there are more grievances than others. But by and large--and, as you know, I have varied experience having come from other places--my analysis or view of the department at this point is that it has a very healthy labour-management relationship, which means that productivity is maximized, which is clearly our goal.
