Thank you, Madam Chair.
Welcome, Minister.
I would be remiss if I didn't first offer one simple word of congratulation, first of all, from all the prison guards across this country, who are absolutely delighted, after four years of impasse, that they have a resolution. On behalf of the number within my own constituency and across Canada, thank you very kindly for settling that issue.
On another matter, the initiatives that were launched by your predecessor in a number of fields—administrative services being shared, expenditure management, information systems, etc., and other similar programs—have you had a chance to evaluate a number of these initiatives? Do you think your department and/or the ministry will be accepting some of those initiatives that have been started, or will you be eliminating any of them?
