Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I will be sharing my time with my colleagues.
Minister, thank you for being there with us today. I would like to talk about the 2009-2010 report on plans and priorities of your department. In fact there are two reports, and in one of them, human capital is designated as one of the main risks. I'd like to know what your department is doing to mitigate that risk.
It says here that governments and management are also part of the main risks. Your department points out that deficiencies in government and management could lead to "an erosion of relationships with federal, provincial and international partners."
I'd like to know what your department is doing about those two risks, but especially with regard to human capital.
