Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you very much to the gallery of witnesses. We appreciate your cooperation.
I'll go right into your report on plans and priorities and the estimates. As a committee, we greatly appreciate that we get the RPP now so that we can compare that with the budget. It was one of our recommendations and is very appreciated.
At page 12 of your RPP, you have attributed your reduced spending in part to a decrease in legal costs related to public inquiries. In fact, you allocate zero dollars for the 2013-14 fiscal year for public inquiries. Often what governments think about doing is they might have a holding amount of money in case a public inquiry is called.
How has the stated objective of reducing spending by limiting costs for holding public inquiries factored into any advice you might have provided in response to the call for an inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women and children?
