Thank you, Minister.
Basically, as the minister indicated in his opening statement, we reviewed six organizations with responsibilities in the area of human resources. In doing so, we made savings by eliminating certain functions and redundancies. Essentially, the primary function was to recognize the specific role played by deputy ministers in human resources management and recognize that the Human Resources Management Agency would be amalgamated with Treasury Board Secretariat in order to reduce the number of officers responsible for issuing directives, and thus transferring those responsibilities to the deputy ministers.
