I will thank my colleague for giving me the opportunity to say that I personally have tremendous respect for Paul Martin and Ralph Goodale and Scott Brison and that I too support efforts by the government to achieve efficiencies and to focus on what it does best. I compliment the people who are here, because that is clearly the effort they are undertaking, and I support it entirely.
So thank you, Mr. Anders, for allowing me that opportunity.
I do want to continue on my earlier questioning about the asset sales as opposed to the departmental review. I don't know who best to ask—maybe Mr. Hirst—so I'll leave it open. But there are several departments that have been pegged. Is there a reason why? Have they been chosen because there have already been some prior reviews that suggest they have assets that are more likely or more appropriate to be sold?
