Thank you, Chair, and thank you to our guests for their help in going through the estimates and some costs around governance.
I had a question with regard to the cost containment by departments, and we were trying to get from the minister how this would work. What I'm seeing is a picture where the departments are given a number and are basically told, go forth and find those--however you want to put it; some people call them efficiencies, other people would call them reductions, and other people would call them cuts.
Was there any direction given in terms of where they should find them, how they should go about doing this in terms of managers being directed by, obviously, their ministers and I guess ultimately by the president? Or is it just, here's the number, go forward and find the savings and efficiencies?
