I sat as a member of the management board of the Ontario cabinet for three years, where we dealt with a wide range of issues. I've been a cabinet minister now for six and a half years. I've been an elected official for 13 years. I have worked in over 16 departments as a student, a political aide, a parliamentary secretary, and a minister. I was the parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Finance for two years, where I carried more than 13 pieces of financial legislation. I was parliamentary secretary to the chair of the management board in Ontario, where I dealt with many issues with respect to this. So I'd say I have a pretty good amount of experience.
