Assistant Deputy Minister, Real Property Branch, Department of Public Works and Government Services

I know what my targets are for PWGSC. I know what my targeted reduction is to get to 2020. I then must balance my budget and my appropriation in order to realize the projects to achieve those targets.

That is a very firm commitment that, as managers within the department, we are committed to achieving. Some of these projects are large investments and they require approval of government. They are in the pipeline, if you will, seeking approval, but that is part of our plan to achieve the target, and we do track it.
