If we look at the overall population data, as issued by Treasury Board rather than the commission, we can say we are making good progress. As my colleague, Madam Laurendeau, just mentioned, where we still see some gaps and have more work to do is generally at the most senior levels in government and in certain occupational groups. Our work, more and more, is focused on targeting those areas where we still have to make progress. Our job is to ensure that the appointment mechanisms are in place to reach our objectives. There are many others with responsibilities, including ensuring that there is accommodation when necessary and ensuring there are special developmental programs. There's a whole range of measures that can be used to ensure that we meet our targets overall.
