If I may say so, I think that the value added in most cases was evident. Indeed, this allowed us to obtain the perspective of people from outside the activity who were in a position to confirm that the reviews had been duly and properly carried out. We also required that all of the programs and activities be reviewed. This gave Treasury Board the additional assurance that the review had indeed been completed and that all of the programs had been properly examined. And so this acknowledgment was very useful because the nature of the exercise was to confirm that the review was complete, and to review the recommendations that were made.
Would we repeat the experience? I would say that we would. Currently, the issue concerns the delays in undertaking the strategic and functional reviews, as the time frame for those is tighter than the time frame for the strategic reviews themselves were.
