Mr. Chair, PCO is a very small department and we are very centralized. We are all here in Ottawa, and we do not deliver programs, nor are we in any way regionalized. So what we have done in our department is really to focus our energy on ensuring that the people who are doing the analyses and supporting the Prime Minister and the cabinet are able to focus on that. In doing so, we are exercising economies of scale, and we have centralized as much administrative support as we possibly can inside the department.
So where you would find in other departments managers and organizations throughout those departments paying for things like printing and graphics and telecommunications, and those kinds of things, in our department it is all centralized. For example, all the furniture we pay for under internal services. We do all of the telecommunications. We pay for all of the software. We take care of all of the desktops and all of the infrastructure. We also have a messenger service that we provide internally to the department. We take care of all of the translation and all of the supplies.
So it's quite a different construct from most departments, but I think it actually is more useful for our department and it makes better use of our funds.
