Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you very much for appearing before us today.

Let me ask you first about your report on plans and priorities for 2010-11, in which you forecast a reduction of $1.39 billion. This is, of course, the report that came out last year after the budget. This is a reduction of $1.39 billion in your planned spending by 2012-13. How will your department achieve these savings? What is the breakdown of savings among the different expenditure items, for instance personnel, transport, communications, and professional and special services? Can you give us that?
