Look, in Canada the Treasury Board role is not just in terms of government spending but also a challenge function on operational effectiveness across department and agency. It's not just in terms of financial results, but are the results consistent with those intended by the government, particularly in a new results and delivery framework that is a priority of the government?
The other thing is the regulatory: we have a role in terms of scrutinizing and approving regulatory changes, which are becoming more prominent now with the regulatory co-operation council with the Americans.
Our system itself in Treasury Board is the only permanent committee of cabinet going back to Confederation. It works really well, and there is a good relationship with Finance. Finance has been a good partner working with us even through these changes. There's a good collaborative relationship.
