I think I'm okay, except I have a bad cold. My husband has a different view.
For other members of the committee, one of the ideas I had as I was retiring was to spend some time working with the Mongolian government on their public service reform. This is a project supported by CIDA, our international development agency. I had thought that once I finished, I could let my successor do her thing and I would be out of the way. Unfortunately for me, I'm still doing my current job and there's a parliamentary agenda in Mongolia where they're trying to get their reforms through. So I've had to do a bit of travel while keeping in touch with the office back here. Mongolia is an interesting country, because it's situated between two large powers and it's working hard at being a parliamentary democracy.
