Well, I would only add that I think it's useful to have that external process where ministers do come forward, having reviewed all their programs and determined that 5% of programs are not performing well or are not any longer as relevant as before, and bring them forward to their colleagues for consideration. I think that's still a useful discipline, over and above what might happen at the departmental level. So I still think it's really useful to have that kind of review.
